This study, conducted by the Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting, and Sleep (PROPASS) consortium, looked at the relationship between various movement behaviours and cardiometabolic health outcomes. They analysed data from over 15,000 participants from six studies across five countries using thigh-worn accelerometers to track movement behaviour. The study found that increasing time spent in moderate-to vigorous physical activity was the most strongly associated with better cardiometabolic health outcomes. The study also found that standing, and to a lesser extent light-intensity physical activity, may have some benefits. However, they found that increasing sedentary behaviour was consistently associated with poorer outcomes.
