If you are sedentary, you are unhealthy, even if you don’t have a diagnosed health condition.
A new study makes this quite clear.
Researchers compared sedentary adults (no structured exercise) to a group of adults who were moderately active (they exercised at least 150 minutes per week).
Importantly, both groups were “healthy” in that they had no diagnosed cardiometabolic conditions.
But the sedentary adults had worse mitochondrial function, poorer cardiorespiratory fitness, and a lower rate of fat oxidation at rest and during exercise. They also produced more lactate at a *much* lower power output than the moderately-active adults.
These findings have profound implications for how we classify and recruit participants in research studies.
They suggest that the “healthy sedentary” phenotype doesn’t exist—
a lack of disease does not imply someone is in good metabolic health. As such, we shouldn’t be using these “healthy sedentary” people as control subjects in studies.
Congratulations on the 32nd Independence Day of Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Let us today celebrate together with our freedom-loving, independent, and resilient Ukrainian friends and colleagues.
Z Dnem Nezalezhnosti, Slava Ukraini!

This is quite funky. @davtbutler using his computer science skills to analyse every World Series race since inception in 2009 & highlighting the changing demands of what it takes to reach the podium. One for any data geeks.

Dette smakte utrolig godt! Nå håper jeg Vetle, Lotte, Casper og Solveig får den beste fish and ships som finnes på den britiske østkysten. Jeg skal også feire
Vetle Thorn, Lotte Miller, Casper Stornes og Solveig Løvseth fikk sprette champagnen (eller var det Bucks Fizz) på stranda i Sunderland i dag, etter at de også fikk bronsemedaljer rundt halsen og bøtte og spade i hånden på podiet. Vi gratulerer! https://t.co/BwBcGB2K3g
Vi har mye godt å se fram til i årene som kommer. Bak dette laget vaker også Sebastian Wernersen, reserve for mikslaget i European Games, og Eirik Grande, som deltar i jr-VM i morgen, og flere. https://t.co/LOmrUrts45 #GoogleAlerts
Solveig Løvseth er nest sist av 30 opp av vannet. Etter en liten runde på sykkelen er hun nummer 10 og har 17 jenter sittende (pesende) på hjul. Hva er den damen laget av?
This is what team work look like:
So happy with the performance at @European_Games .
3 gold out of 3 is just perfect. Thank you to all coaches involved in the process and of course the athletes on the battlefield. It was close, but we made it🇳🇴🏅
