Active Video-game Playing and Food Intake in Children
Active Video-game Playing and Food Intake in Children
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effect of active video game playing for
 30 minutes on food intake and subjective appetite. The investigators hypothesize that video
 game playing will affect food intake in children. Food intake will be measured at 30 minutes
 following a glucose (50g glucose in 250ml of water) or sweetened non-caloric (150mg
 Sucralose® in 250ml of water) beverage with or without active video game playing. Subjective
 appetite will be measured at 0, 15, 30 and 60 minutes.
