Potsdam, NY, Dec. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The early months of the COVID-19 pandemic saw stay at home orders issued across the United States. Millions of people\u2019s lives and routines were completely changed. For many, that meant their lifestyle changed too. A new study by researchers at several universities, including Clarkson, found that during COVID-19 people across the country are sitting longer–but they\u2019re also exercising more.<\/p>\n

Ali Boolani, an Associate Professor of Physical Therapy at Clarkson University, and Jacob Meyer, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at Iowa State University, and their fellow researchers conducted a study in April during the initial COVID-19 lockdown phase. After surveying more than 5,000 US adults they found that more than 42% of them reported sitting for more than 8 hours per day, at the same time nearly 73% of the group reported they exercised at least 150 minutes per week, the recommended minimum amount of time adults get in physical exercise each week, by the American Heart Association.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately we think that being physically active can eliminate the negative health effects of sitting. However, research shows that it requires 60-75 minutes of exercise to eliminate the deleterious effects of sitting for 8 hours+ a day. With cases rising and many of us working remote or shifting to remote work again, for our mental and physical health, we need to make it a priority to limit sedentary behavior, and not solely focus on increasing our physical activity\u201d Boolani said.<\/p>\n

Sitting and activity appeared similar between sexes, while there was evidence of some age differences. For example, more young adults (ages 18\u201334) self-reported being inactive, and more appeared to sit for more than 8 hours a day compared to older adults.\u00a0<\/p>\n
