Men who spend too much time sitting — even those who exercise regularly — are at higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, according to a study by researchers from the University of South Carolina’s Arnold School of Public Health.
The study found men who sat 23 hours or more — while watching television or riding in cars — had a 64 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease than those who spent about half that time sitting. Even if the men who sit a lot also were physically active when not sitting, they had higher rates of cardiovascular mortality.
The message: We need to get up and move around, according to Tatiana Y. Warren, a Ph.D. candidate in exercise science and the study’s lead author.
Even people who spend a lot of time working at a desk or watching television need to get up and move during the day.
“Get up and move. Move constantly during the day,” Warren said. “Take the stairs, park farther away. Bring in more leisure physical activity through the day. It’s beneficial.”
