She cautions, however, that more study is needed to ascertain how overall time-use activities and patterns are related to obesity and health outcomes.<br \/>\nSmith adds that for people in general, but especially for individuals with sedentary jobs, the message about physical activity is fairly clear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read more from the research article <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0277953614005772\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study published in the journal Social Science &amp; Medicine, titled No time for the gym?
