High school students sit for too long, new health research suggests 


“One of the problems with our school system,” said Anne L. Friedlander, vice president of programs at ConnectWell and a consulting professor in the human biology program at Stanford, “is we have all these kids, and they’re running around, and they’re very energetic, and they’re playing all these games. And then we take them into school, and we say, you know, ‘Sit down and be still.’ And it’s one of the worst things we can do for their health.”
