Summary:Sedentary behavior refers to certain activities in a reclining, seated, or lying position requiring very low energy expenditure. High prevalence of sedentary behaviors in today's society is a growing public health concern. Sedentary behavior and physical inactivity are among the leading modifiable risk factors worldwide for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Excessive sedentary time increases the risk of cardiometabolic diseases (CD), such as obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Physical activity (PA) and exercise have established protective effects on health, and its potential benefits span across the prevention, management, and treatment of cardiometabolic disease. In this review study, the relationships between physical activity and cardiometabolic diseases and the effects of physical activity on cardiometabolic diseases were examined.
