"Computer gaming has to be one of the most physically demanding sports around, during high-tension gameplay I get so excited my heart rate shoots up to 170bpm and can stay there for two hours if I'm really engrossed, I know of no other sport that requires this level of fitness" says gaming champion Preston Buttons "it's really demanding, it's not just sitting down and pressing buttons and turning wheels and since the recent introduction of the rumble-pack and gaming chair my heart rate sometimes touches 190 can you imagine another sportsman achieving that?....I'm amazing! my team think I am too."
High heart rates brought on by excitement, tension, extreme concentration is not an indicator of fitness...we all achieve this....maintaining a heart rate of 170 for two hours though physical exertion (cycling up a mountain for example) is.....we need Dogsballs to clarify this.
