Vue d'ensemble
Recognising the important and complementary roles of reducing sedentary Behavior and increasing physical activity for improving global public health, the Sedentary Behavior Council (SBC) was established to advance science, advocacy, and practice relating to sedentary Behavior and health.
Sur la base de la définition fournie par le Sedentary Behavior Research Network (SBRN), we consider sedentary Behavior to comprise Behaviors during waking hours that have low energy expenditure and are performed in a sitting or reclining posture. This is different from low levels of physical activity which should be referred to as ‘physical inactivity’ or ‘insufficient physical activit
La SBC a cinq objectifs principaux
- Renforcement des capacités : favoriser le développement des chercheurs et des praticiens en début et en milieu de carrière par le biais d'un bulletin semestriel, d'événements de mise en réseau et de programmes de mentorat.
- To advance the science in relation to sedentary Behavior research: stimulate scholarly discourse and support sedentary Behavior research in areas including, but not limited to, measurement, surveillance and aetiology of disease. To facilitate international and trans-disciplinary collaborations to accelerate this scientific advancement.
- Contribute to evidence-informed advocacy: contribute to global consensus documentation on the associations of sedentary Behavior with health outcomes and indicators, and on sedentary Behavior prevalence internationally.
- Support practice of sedentary Behavior change: facilitate the identification of evidence-informed approaches for changing sedentary Behaviors in different settings, and within different geographic regions and population sub-groups.
- Contribuer à l'éducation : contribuer au congrès bisannuel de l'ISPAH et aux ateliers associés, aux cours de formation approuvés par l'ISPAH, aux webinaires en ligne et au matériel pédagogique.
