這份發表在《英國醫學會公共衛生》期刊上的研究報告引用了《2008年健康調查》中的數據,列舉了英國成年人的代表類型.
They were grouped as "Busy Bees" – physically active with low sedentary levels; "Sedentary Exercisers" – physically active with high sedentary levels; "Light Movers" – physically inactive, had low sedentary; and "Couch Potatoes" – physically inactive, high sedentary.
研究對象被歸為四個類型,他們分別是："忙碌蜜蜂"——運動充足且久坐時間短；"久坐鍛煉者"——運動充足但久坐時間長；"輕量行者"——缺乏運動但久坐時間短；以及"沙發土豆"——缺乏運動且久坐時間長.
Dr Yates said: "Overall, adults who engaged in at least 150 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week, including 'Sedentary Exercisers', had more favourable health profiles compared to 'Couch Potatoes'.
耶茨博士表示："總的來說,包括'久坐鍛煉者'在內的成年人每周至少進行150分鐘中高等強度的運動,就能擁有比'沙發土豆'更加理想的健康狀況."
"By suggesting that being physically active may offset some of the deleterious consequences of routinely engaging in high levels of sedentary behaviour, this study further emphasises the importance of physical activity in the promotion and maintenance of health."
"運動可以抵消日常久坐帶來的消極影響,通過揭示這一點,此次研究進一步強調了運動對保持和促進身體健康的重要性."
PhD student Kishan Bakrania added: "This research is significant because it demonstrates yet again why physical activity and exercise is so important.
基尚·巴克讓尼亞是一名在讀博士生,他補充道："這項研究意義重大,因為它再次證明了運動鍛煉的重要性."
"It shows that people who spend large amounts of time not moving either through work, leisure or lifestyle can counteract some of the negative effects of sedentary behaviour by regularly exercising."
"它表明人們即便在工作或閑暇時不經常活動,仍能通過定期鍛煉抵消久坐帶來的消極影響."
