With all of these studies on the affects of "sitting," I'm curious if there is any distinction made between "passive sitting" and "active sitting." E.g. a yoga ball vs. a chair. If you are sitting in a position that forces you to work muscles, is that only marginally better?
- et-al 10y agoThe study seems to focus on cardiovascular health and not so much muscular dystrophy and posture. Also, have you seen people sit on yoga balls? Most of them end up leaning on the table for support. I don't doubt sitting with good posture is helpful, but the main thrust of this study is to tell people to move. Get up every 15-20 minutes to pace, go take that walk around the block, take the stairs, walk home if you can.
