Doctors spoke about the health consequences of computer game “marathons”. Experts interviewed by RT said that prolonged exposure to a monitor can lead to visual impairment and excessive stress on the musculoskeletal system.
“With prolonged abuse of computers and gadgets, gamers reduce the activity of systems that control balance, accuracy of movements, and long-term memory, reward mechanisms are disrupted, and cognitive abilities decrease,” one doctor said. Earlier, reports appeared on social networks that a man in Surgut fell into a coma after playing on the computer for many hours.
