An article recently posted in the New York Times suggest that Wii owners could be damaging themselves by lazily swinging the remote, rather than doing complete full gestures.
The problem can apparently occur when the player discovers that there’s no need to fully swing your arm in games such as Wii Sports and instead use a simply quick flick of the wrist, causing what’s commonly known as ‘tennis elbow’.
*Nods* been trying to tell my brother this for ages.
Eek! I certainly know what they mean. My arm hurt today after I played Wii Sports Tennis (as chronicled here: http://mindbodyself.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/i-did-it-d/).
I try to do the full motions to get some exercise out of it, but sometimes, you flick the remote without even thinking about it. My left wrist hurts as I write this >.>”
