Behaviour19
  • The pernicious health effects of this ubiquitous behaviour has led to significant changes in physical activity recommendations, which now recognise the importance of reducing sedentary time in addition to maintaining adequate levels of daily physical activity 3 , 7 . (nature.com)
  • Detrimental associations of sedentary behaviour with major depression and other mental disorders have also been reported 9 . (nature.com)
