Clinical Exercise Physiology at Springfield College

Let's kick off this semester by sitting less and moving more!
Check out the article by Dempsey et al (2016) who found beneficial effects of reducing sitting time in persons living with type 2 diabetes:

Benefits for Type 2 Diabetes of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting With Brief Bouts of Light Walking or Simple Resistance Activities
Diabetes Care 2016 Jun; 39(6): 964-972.

The least active men and women die or become disabled younger and more frequently due to heart disease and other chronic diseases than even their slightly more active peers.

What is now well established is that the least active are at greatest risk, and for these people even small amounts of activity performed on most days decreases risk of heart attack, stroke and other chronic conditions such as heart failure, type 2 diabetes and colon cancer.
