Well yes...a large number of hardcore gamers are more focused on gaming and not their physical health so people automatically relate gamers to fat and lazy.
Same goes with girl gamers...sure there are many that are really good...but most of them are not...so that's why people think that all girl gamers are not good at video games.
Actually not so much. Professional gamers around the world will tell you that you need stamina and strength in order to be in peak performance for gaming. Several of them usually grab a gym membership and will work out to stay in some form of shape (not like athelete, but enough to not be in terrible health).
I know for a fact that KeSPA requires all professional teams to give their team members free gym memberships to a gym that meets a certain quality.
[oops]Reach: I challenge some of my friends in the Air Force to handstand competitions for fun.
Now if you considered the "shut-in" type of gamer then yeah...they're going to be in some pretty bad health shape.
