Understanding the science behind sitting-related health risks
Multiple longitudinal studies have demonstrated that prolonged sedentary behavior is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and premature mortality. The SitRisk Monitor uses validated algorithms based on peer-reviewed research to assess individual risk factors.
Regular movement breaks, even as brief as 2-3 minutes every 30 minutes, can significantly improve metabolic health, reduce muscle stiffness, and enhance cognitive function. Our monitoring system helps you implement these evidence-based recommendations.
Leading health organizations including the American Heart Association, Mayo Clinic, and World Health Organization recommend reducing prolonged sitting time. This tool helps you track and improve your daily movement patterns based on these guidelines.
