           Study: More TV and Less Exercise Lead to Lower Sperm Count

   by VOA News

   Men who want to start a family should consider turning off the
   television and picking up some weights.
   A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that young men
   who watch 20 hours of television or more a week have a 44 percent lower
   sperm count than those who watch little or no TV.
   The study also says men who exercise for 15 or more hours a week at a
   moderate or vigorous pace have a 73 percent higher sperm count than
   those who exercise less than five hours a week.
   The researchers looked at semen samples from 189 men between the ages
   of 18 and 22 who were living in New York state.
   The experts point out that a lower sperm count does not mean a man is
   less fertile or less likely to father a child, but say physical
   activity does affect the quality of semen.
