According to the study, recreational sitting takes place while watching television. The study did not take sitting at work into account.

Thanks for the insight here Andie. I hadn't thought of that not being taken into account. Good eye.

I think it would be wise if work sitting we're included, however. I have clients who do computer work that literally don't get up for the whole day. I encourage them to do standing and stretching breaks. The original study did talk about working standing up for part of the day as being better.
