The prevalence of upright non-stepping time in comparison to stepping time in 11-13 year old school children across seasons

Evidence suggests that behaviours such as standing are beneficial for our health. Unfortunately, little is known of the prevalence of this state, its importance in relation to time spent stepping or variation across seasons. The aim of this study was to quantify, in young adolescents, the prevalence and seasonal changes in time spent upright and not stepping (UNSttime) as well as time spent upright and stepping (USttime), and their contribution to overall upright time (Utime).
