Physical Inactivity/Sedentary Behaviour[edit | edit source]
Physical activity [PA] is known to have health benefits, including reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, several cancers and NCDs. Yet despite this, in many countries of the world a large number of adults display sedentary behaviour [SB], spending a large proportion of their waking hours sitting: often at a desk at work, on a sofa at home, and on transport, whether public transport or private vehicle. These sedentary behaviours have low energy expenditure, and are associated with health risks, independent of PA levels[1].
