Defining Sedentary Behavior as Part of the Human Movement Spectrum. Sedentary behavior is often defined by intensity alone (A) or intensity + posture (B). The difference between the definitions is that behaviors that are not seated/reclining and are also low intensity (≤1.5 METS), e.g. standing, are considered sedentary behavior by the intensity definition (A) but light intensity by the intensity + posture definition (B).
