Area of Science:

  • Health Science
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Sedentary behavior research is rapidly expanding in health science.
  • There is a growing need for standardized terminology and definitions.
  • Achieving consensus across multidisciplinary fields is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the urgent need for clear, common, and accepted terminology in sedentary behavior research.
  • To establish standardized definitions through a consensus process.
  • To facilitate consistent research, interventions, and policies related to sedentary behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a literature review to identify key terms in sedentary behavior research.
  • A Steering Committee reviewed and modified identified terms.
  • SBRN members provided feedback on proposed terms and definitions via an online survey.
  • Finalized a conceptual model and consensus definitions based on feedback from 87 SBRN members.

Main Results:

  • Provided consensus definitions for key terms including physical inactivity, stationary behavior, sedentary behavior, standing, screen time, non-screen-based sedentary time, sitting, reclining, lying, and sedentary behavior patterns.
  • Clarified the usage of terms such as bouts, breaks, and interruptions in the context of sedentary behavior.
  • Definitions include caveats and examples applicable to all age groups and functional abilities.

Conclusions:

  • The consensus definitions are expected to result in widely supported and adopted standardized terminology.
  • This standardization aims to advance future research, interventions, policies, and practices concerning sedentary behaviors.
  • The project utilized a comprehensive, transparent, and participatory approach to achieve consensus.
