The study is sold in the article headline as being about exercise, but the level of inactivity goes way beyond curtailing intentional exercise.
Quote:
It focused on overweight people past age 65 who already were at risk of developing diabetes because they had high blood sugar. But they otherwise were healthy and active, walking about 7,000 or 8,000 steps each day.
Now, as in the other study, they sat, reducing their steps to below 1,000 a day for two weeks, after which, for a final two weeks, they moved about normally.

I don't think this puts you far beyond walking too and from the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Not that surprising if some people find themselves still a little sluggish some time after two weeks of little more than bed rest. |
