Cardiometabolic Benefit of Replacing Sedentary Time with Light-Intensity Physical Activity: Compositional Data Analysis of the Nijmegen Exercise Study
Reallocation of sedentary time to LIPA was associated with improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors, predominantly in anthropometrics and glucose metabolism, with greater benefits in the most sedentary individuals. Time reallocation from sedentary time to LIPA may be an effective and arguably feasible strategy to improve population-wide cardiometabolic health.
