Walking or standing for long stretches of time and maintaining a neutral energy balance will be more beneficial to physical health than working up a sweat, according to a recent study by researchers. During “Sunshine Cup” Sports Festival, walking, outdoor activities as well as daily amount of non-sitting time will be promoted.
