60-second "exercise snacks" may aid sedentary individuals in meeting exercise targets, according to an expert.
60-second 'exercise snacks' could benefit those struggling to meet exercise targets, such as obese people or those with chronic diseases, according to an expert. Short bursts of exercise, like stair climbing or brief cycling sessions, separated by hours-long intervals, could offset the detrimental effects of a sedentary lifestyle. These activities complement the World Health Organisation's (WHO) recommendation of at least 150 minutes of moderate activity, with adults encouraged to increase this to 300 minutes for additional health benefits.
