Would love to see the study. Per the other comments, it may mean that you can't concentrate the walking and the sitting? That is, 22 minutes of walking every 2 hours could be a lot different from 44 minutes every 4 hours.

This wouldn't be much different from any other process. And, of course, could call into question many other things we have fixed times in the day for.

Thanks! This seems to support the general thought I put up. You have to substitute sitting time with exercise. The article talked about people that would sit for 10-12 hours a day, and how if they sat that long, adding exercise did not help. My assertion is that added exercise has to reduce the time sitting.

I'm actually struggling to imagine sitting 12 hours a day and also getting real exercise in. Unless they don't count walking around the house to eat and such, that is a crap load of sitting.
