Self-reported sitting time

downin humans1−1.5% fewer hours/week of sitting

1 study
  1. Multicomponent physical activity intervention decreases self-reported sitting time in humans (1.5% fewer hours/week of sitting).

    “and fewer hours/week of sitting (1.5%) than Comparison (p < .001 for all).”

Self-reported strength training frequency

upin humans1+4.4% higher strength training sessions per week

1 study
  1. Multicomponent physical activity intervention increases self-reported strength training frequency in humans (4.4% higher strength training sessions per week).

Self-reported total exercise

upin humans1+3.7% higher average total exercise, measured in met-hours/week

1 study
  1. Multicomponent physical activity intervention increases self-reported total exercise in humans (3.7% higher average total exercise, measured in MET-hours/week).

    “Over a median 8.7 years, Intervention participants reported higher average walking (3.2%), aerobic (3.4%), and total (3.7%) exercise, as MET-hours/week,”
