“Sedentary behavior has become one of the hottest topics for research in exercise science and public health. Even for physically active individuals, too much sitting can be detrimental to health. Like physical activity before it, this new area is faced with multiple measurement challenges. In the new Special Issue of Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science,international experts in the measurement of sedentary behavior have provided a series of thought-provoking and informative articles on the various challenges, with many useful recommendations and solutions.”
