Description
Meeting of knowledge and experiences: a look at sedentary behavior.Since 2020, there has been a sharp decline in levels of physical activity and an increase in sedentary behavior in the global population as a result of the various preventive measures adopted against the spread of the coronavirus. These changes in physical activity and other lifestyle determinants have been associated with rapid deterioration in cardiovascular health, such as increased insulin resistance, increased body fat, and greater release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as premature death in populations with risk factors.
The Physical Activity, Sport, and Health Seedbed (Wellfit) expressed interest in responding to the need to determine the levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior in young adults, given the increase in risk factors due to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles, which have recently changed in recent years due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, and the relationship between these variables.
In this regard, an event will be held to share the experiences of the seedbed members and the results of the project “Sedentary behavior, physical activity, and their relationship with cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults in Bogotá, Colombia: A cross-sectional study” carried out by the members of the Wellfit Seedbed.
