Participation in physical activity is fundamental for the maintenance of metabolic health and the prevention of major chronic diseases, particularly type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A whole-of-day approach to physical activity promotion is increasingly advocated and includes not only increasing moderate-intensity physical activity, but also reducing sedentary time and increasing light intensity activity (the non-exercise part of the activity continuum). This whole-of-day approach to tackling the challenge of inactivity may be particularly relevant for adults with mobility disabilities, who are amongst the most inactive segment of the population. Focusing on non-exercise activity by striving to reduce sedentary time and increase light intensity activity may be a more successful place to begin to change behavior in someone with mobility disability. This paper will discuss what is known about the metabolic health consequences of sedentary behavior and light-intensity activity in adults with and without mobility disability. The concepts of inactivity physiology will be presented along with possible applications or evidence from studies with adults with mobility disability. Mobility disability discussions and examples will focus on stroke and spinal cord injury. Finally, clinical implications and future research directions related to sedentary behavior with adults with mobility disability will be discussed. |
