"... lack of any external movement, combined with emotional challenges from games, movies, and such, mean that we've got these bodies made for running around and physically stimulating ourselves yet we're pushing them to sit still and run on artificially-induced stress. ..."

For bench warmers this is what it takes minimum to get optimum benefit.
