Walking meetings boost employees health at work

"There are limited opportunities for physical activity at work. This walking meeting pilot study provides early evidence that white-collar workers find it feasible and acceptable to convert a traditional seated meeting into a walking meeting," said Alberto J Caban-Martinez, assistant professor at the University of Miami (UM) Miller School of Medicine. "Physical activity interventions such as the walking meeting protocol that encourage walking and raise levels of physical activity in the workplace are needed to counter the negative health effects of sedentary behaviour," Caban-Martinez said.
