Study takes a stand against prolonged sitting

A new study shows classrooms remain overlooked when it comes to the health risks of sitting still for too long. Researchers found most students don't realize the health risks can't be counteracted by later exercise, and perhaps unsurprisingly, students feel it is socially unacceptable to take a walk while the professor is still leading class. The researchers have solutions like building open classrooms and offering instructor-led stretch breaks.
