Document Summary
Data showing time spent in sedentary time. As you increase the dark area, it goes into light activity. Most human behaviour takes place in sedentary time. Should be striving to be an active non-couch potato. Behaviour to act on the 30-40 min per day has declined. Maybe we should get people to sit less instead. Key point: sitting less leads to more incidental pa capitalizing in our environment on doing incidental movement: which is easier to do than moderate to vigorous pa for most people. Should be aiming for an active, with exercise profile as strong and robust as it can possibly be. Break up long sedentary behaviour with breaks: ex. Studying for 4h take little breaks after every 30 min. Should strive to have a good amount of nonsedentary time daily. Number of studies big researchers are from australia.
