Our latest study demonstrated a dangerous drop in incidental exercise for office workers with #type2diabetes during the pandemic. Incidental breaks in sitting time, standing up & taking a short walk deliver real health benefits #SitLessMoveMore https://t.co/aZ9dTwMUGv

The growing trend of working from home could be having a detrimental impact on our health. Experts say it's fostering lazier lifestyles, with a new trial underway in Melbourne hoping to convince workers to take a stand. https://t.co/q0l0WvDsqP @jodilee_7 #7NEWS

@ASPActivity @ISPAH @narrowboat_paul Such an essential element - unifies the investments and clearly requires a systems approach. Tapping into expertise from other areas like smoking/drink-driving campaigns and applying evidence-based principles will be crucial. Tailoring messages for particular groups is important.

@rebeccahritchie @Judy_deHaan29 @PC_Dempsey @BakerResearchAu Spot on! Key being avoidance of prolonged periods of both postures. Frequent transitions
