A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.91kg)less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
"The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity," said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University.
"American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years." Robinson said.
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
"One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories," Robinson said.
"Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more," Robinson said.

听力原文:M: What's on the TV this evening? I feel like relaxing.
W: Why ask me that? You know I never watch it.
M: Too busy with the latest hobby, are you? What is it this time, knitting socks for your nephews? Or collecting buttons? I wish I had as much free time as you do.
W: Men! As a matter of fact, you probably have more than I do. But you waste it all watching your TV.
M: That's not a waste of time. I've got to rest sometimes.
W: Sometimes, maybe, but not all the time. And anyway, I relax with my hobbies. A change is as good as a rest.
M: Well, the TV is my hobby, and I learn a lot from it.
W: But it doesn't teach you to do anything, does it? You just sit there and stare at it. That's not learning.
M: But I do learn. There are lots of educational programs.
W: But you don't watch them, do you? Whenever an educational program comes on, you either switch over to the other channel or go to sleep.
M: When I come home from work, I need to put my feet up, at least for a while. Life's not all work, you know.
W: Hobbies aren't work. I like putting my feet up, too, at the end of the day, but I like doing things while I rest.
Life's too short for us to waste time.
