I do alot of sports and exercise, but also spend time indoors, why cant i get fit?

Well i play football almost everyday for like 2-4 hours, im fairly active i do running, walking and cycling ... is the time spent on the computer actually damaging my fitness this much? how bloody hard is it !

First, diet matters a lot. You may be eating reasonably well, but one answer could be that instead of whole grains and vegetables with just a small amount of meat, you're eating pies and white rice and things from the chip shop too much. It doesn't mean you're really unhealthy, but it will keep you from getting particularly fit.

Second, the answer to your question is that sitting really is bad for you... even if you exercise! Recent research has shown this conclusively (see, e.g., http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/23/stand-up-while-you-read-this/ ). If you work on computers or need to sit through most of the day (at school, for example) then you don't have much choice... but it does have a huge effect, sadly.
