Conclusion : These data suggest that sedentary behavior is not associated with changes in cognitive performance in interventions that intend to reduce sedentary behavior .
Background : It is now well-established that sedentarity has a negative impact on the physiological functioning and health of humans , whereas very little is known about the psychological repercussions , especially in cognitive functioning .
Yet , study ing the cognitive effects of the sedentary lifestyle is particularly relevant in the short term for productivity and in the long term for cognitive health ( accelerated aging ) .
This systematic review therefore aims to make an inventory of the potential cognitive effects of sedentarity at the workplace .
Methods : Pubmed , PsycINFO , Cochrane , Web of Science , and Scopus were search ed for English- language peer- review ed articles published between January 1 , 2000 and December 31 , 2017 to identify studies including sedentary behavior  and objective measures from cognitive domains ( cognitive inhibition , cognitive flexibility , working memory , etc . ) .
Too much sitting: the population health science of sedentary behavior.
Even when adults meet physical activity guidelines , sitting for prolonged periods can compromise metabolic health .  Television ( TV ) time and objective measurement studies show deleterious associations , and breaking up sedentary time is beneficial .  Sitting time , TV time , and time sitting in automobiles increase premature mortality risk . Further evidence from prospect i ve studies , intervention trials , and population -based behavioral studies is required
