What is a sedentary lifestyle?

A sedentary lifestyle is characterized by irregular or no physical activity, making it a condition where an individual spends a substantial amount of time engaged in minimal movement. This often results from extensive periods of inactivity, such as sitting or lying down, while engaging in activities like watching television, playing video games, or working at a desk. Such a lifestyle can lead to several health issues, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions, due to the lack of physical exertion that is necessary for maintaining better overall health and fitness.

The other choices define active lifestyles that involve frequent exercise, regular physical activity, or significant engagement in sports, which are contrary to the definition of a sedentary lifestyle.
