This is a meta-analysis. I'd say if you do true exercise, i.e. high intensity intervals, the 10% increase will be wiped out. Whew!
[quote=http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 171701.htm]Sitting for prolonged periods raised the risk of cardiovascular disease by 14%, cancer by 13%, and diabetes by 91%. Those who sat for long stretches and got no regular exercise had a 40% higher risk of early death. With regular exercise, the risk was smaller but still significant: about 10%. The study authors warn that: “Prolonged sedentary time was independently associated with deleterious health outcomes regardless of physical activity.”?[/quote]
