The Effects of Critical Health Behaviors

Read the scenario below and answer the following question.

Corey is an excellent baseball player, but he also loves to play video games. All of Corey’s friends were excited when the newest edition of their favorite game, “Combat Chronicles,” was released in January. Every day for the next few months, the boys would run home from school and log on to play against each other. Some boys, including Corey, would play almost nonstop from the time they got home until midnight or later. Corey would stop playing only long enough to eat some potato chips and go to the bathroom. By March, Corey begins to notice he is becoming tired much more easily. Corey struggles to make it through the first week of baseball practice.
