Earlier this year SBRN published an updated definition of the terms “sedentary” and “sedentary behaviour”, which was published in the journals Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism and Movement & Sport Sciences – Science & Motricité. The definition was originally published in both English (here) and French (here). The definition has now been translated into Spanish and Portuguese by Ana Lúcia André with help from Verónica Varela Mato.
You can find links to the translated definitions below.
The definition can be cited as:
Sedentary Behaviour Research Network. 2012. Standardized use of the terms “sedentary” and “sedentary behaviours”. Appl Physiol Nutr Metab. 37: 540–542.
