Sitting too much while working from home? Canadian study aims to get people moving

Last Updated Wednesday, October 7, 2020 11:09AM EDTLONDON, ONT -- The COVID-19 pandemic has turned the home into a work place for many Canadians, but is it a healthy work place?

In fact, sitting for long periods of time, especially when working can be more detrimental to your health than you may think. “Long term detrimental effects there’s increased risk of multiple types of cancer and diabetes, cardiovascular disease as well as increased cause of premature death,” says Hiemstra, who adds the additional concern is with more people working from home there are less places to move compared to the office.

That’s why the team launched a study that will examine sitting behaviours of people working from home.
