I would like to see a study done that factors in the type of exercise. "Moderate to rigorous exercise" is a very broad definition. That could be anything from pumping iron for an hour to running six miles. Standing is a weight bearing activity which has a great effect on bone density and muscle mass. These in turn effect one's long term health. Weightlifting can do more to compensate for the loss of lean body mass due to sedentary living compared to cardio. I'd be curious to see whether weightlifting is more effective than cardio in offsetting the effects of sitting most of the work day.
