At first, this paper seemed to me to be contradictory: having defined VILPA as excluding exercise for the purpose of exercising, it recommends doing it for that purpose... On reflection, I think the advice is directed towards people who could take the stairs, but habitually don't. Aside from that and running to the next bus/train stop, I'm not sure there are all that many options for this sort of behavior modification without setting aside some time for it.

I think we could probably agree with this advice based on strong priors but this paper provides poor support for the advice since it's not an intervention, it's an observation of extreme sedentary "lifestyles" which are probably heavily skewed towards various forms of illness (or infirmity from old age).
- s1artibartfast 4y agoI think that's kind of baked into the definition of VILPA. that is to say, it is by definition intermittent. Some people have Lifestyles with more of it and some have less of it. If you take the paper at face value, it is better to live a lifestyle with it
