The ""Strategies for Reducing Sedentary Behavior"" session will concentrate on practical evidence-based strategies for decreasing prolonged sitting and increasing opportunities for movement and physical activity in daily life. Participants will examine the health consequences of sedentary lifestyles, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and musculoskeletal pain. The session will cover settings of intervention including work, education, and community settings, and will focus on behavioral, environmental, and policy-based strategies to increase movement and reduce sedentary behavior.
Additionally, the session will explore innovative approaches such as wearable activity trackers, mobile health applications, and gamification as engaging and motivating ways to encourage individuals to adopt more active movement routines. Participants will learn how to effectively design and implement programs that can reduce barriers to physical activity, increase adherence to physical activity, and promote sustainable lifestyle change. Participants will also have access to case studies and research-based perspectives, with resource materials aimed at providing useful tools to health providers, public health practitioners, and workplace wellness coordinators develop programs for reducing sedentary behavior and improving health outcomes and decreasing obesity risks.
Connect, collaborate, and contribute to driving excellence in obesity research, clinical practice, and public health approaches globally.
