Washington [US], May 24 (ANI): According to the findings of a new study, people who are successful at weight-loss maintenance spend less time sitting during the week and weekends compared to weight-stable individuals with obesity.
Published online in Obesity, the Obesity Society s flagship journal, this is the first study to examine time spent in various sitting activities among weight-loss maintainers.
Prior findings from 2006 in the National Weight Control Registry indicated that weight-loss maintainers watched significantly less television than controls, but other sitting activities were not examined. In the current study, weight-loss maintainers did not significantly differ from controls in reported weekly sitting time spent watching television but did differ in time spent in non-work-related time using a computer or video game.
