Study shows Video games help with work recovery
Video games can be a very useful means of recovering from a hard day's work. This has been shown by a study by researchers at a University in London. The British researchers note that proper recovery after a day's work is an important part of a healthy professional career.

The research showed that workers who were video gamers were found to recover faster than their peers. In addition, the video gamers would also suffer less from interferences between work and family. Also revealed is that the level of online support has a significant impact on the recovery.

"Video Games were once labeled as the exclusive domain of teenagers, but speaking of large swaths of the population," says researcher Emily Collins, professor of psychology at University College london. "About one in four British adults report at least once a week to this digital games to get relief. "

"Nevertheless, videogames are rarely shown in a positive way in the news. The industry is mainly associated with a wide range of negative effects, ranging from loss of concentration to stimulating violent and hostile behavior. At their best, video games are simply a waste of time without any added value to the gamer."

"The research shows that digital games not only have a positive impact on the individual, but also can add value to a person's professional career," emphasizes Emily Collins. "The recovery after the day's work is the basis for a good day's work the following day," added Emily Collins.
