According to a recent study by experts at the University of Sydney, standing more does not, in the long run, significantly improve heart health when compared to sitting.
Additionally, it may raise a person’s risk for standing-related cardiovascular problems, according to study. According to Medical News Today, these include varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis.
Additionally, researchers found that sitting for more than ten hours a day may increase a person’s risk of developing orthostatic circulatory disease and cardiovascular disease.
For this study, researchers examined data from an accelerometer—a wearable gadget that tracks movement—from over 83,000 persons in the UK Biobank.
Accelerometer data measured the amount of time spent standing and sitting.
