The science behind
the need to stand
-
A
January 2010 British Journal of Sports Medicine
article
suggests that
people who sit for long periods of time have an
increased risk of
disease.
-
An
American Cancer Society study of 120,000 adults,
published in the
July 2010 American Journal of Epidemiology,
suggests that the
more people sit, the shorter their average life
span. What’s more,
the findings were independent of physical
activity level
such as people who exercise outside of work.
-
A
2010 University of Queensland, Australia study
found that
even when adults
meet physical activity guidelines, sitting for
prolonged periods
can compromise metabolic health.
