  • Inactivity physiology studies show that sitting impacts the body through mechanisms that are different from those involved in exercise, highlighting the unique dangers of prolonged inactivity.
  • Given the widespread and increasing nature of sedentary behavior, the article suggests that health guidelines should start to address too much sitting and encourage regular breaks as a way to improve health.
