Physical fitness associated with less pronounced effect of sedentary behavior

A new study conducted by researchers from the American Cancer Society, the Cooper Institute, and the University of Texas indicates that physical fitness may neutralize the health effects of excessive sitting. Sedentary behavior has long been linked to an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This current study, led by Dr. Kerem Shuval, and conducted on more than 1300 men in Dallas, shows that higher fitness levels were "associated with reduced adiposity and metabolic measures."
