Great Britain’s Youth Sport Trust charity recently conducted a survey by contacting 1,000 children who were aged 5 to 16 about their gaming habits. The results revealed that 25% of the children polled feel that video games are exercise. Even more shocking is that the percentage rose to 31 percent among seven and eight-year-old children. The study also revealed that children are spending roughly 3 hours a day engaging in screen-based activities

This consumer safety performance specification establishes nationally recognized safety standards for public playground equipment to address injuries identified by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). During 1999 the CPSC estimated that about 156 000 victims were treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with public playground equipment. About three fourths of these injuries resulted from falls, primarily to the surface on which the equipment was located. Other hazard patterns involved impact by swings and other moving equipment and contact with protrusions, crush or shear points, and sharp edges. Fatalities reported to the CPSC resulted from falls; entanglement of clothing or similar items on equipment; entanglement in ropes tied to or caught on equipment; head entrapment; impact by equipment that tipped over or otherwise failed; and impact by moving swings. This consumer safety performance specification does not eliminate the need for supervision of children on public playground equipment. It is intended to minimize the likelihood of life-threatening or debilitating injuries, such as those identified by the CPSC. There has been significant harmonization of this performance specification and CAN/CSA-Z614.

play isn’t just for fun. It also helps encourage growth and development in children. Play can help develop social skills, for example, by encouraging children to engage in play together. When children play on the playground and imagine themselves on a pirate ship, for instance, they may add to each other’s ideas, agree on a set of rules, and each take on specific roles as part of their game. This prepares them for social interaction in other ways, too. Play also encourages children to exercise and stay active while developing physical strength. Children who play on slides and climbers develop balance, strength and agility. Children who run from one piece of playground equipment to another develop cardiovascular strength and work on their physical health and well-being. Early childhood play can also help children see that exercise is fun, which can mean they continue to stay active. For younger children, play on the playground helps foster curiosity, imagination and sensory development. Children may touch textured surfaces of playground equipment, exploring the world with that sense. They may listen to the sounds of a playground and get curious about sound. The bright colors of the playground as well as the various shapes may help encourage visual curiosity and the ability to recognize shapes and colors. For older children, activity panels can help with the recognition of numbers, shapes and letters.
