Even if you exercise regularly, too much sitting can still be bad for your heart, the American Heart Association (AHA) warns. "Based on existing evidence, we found that U.S. adults are sedentary for about six to eight hours a day," said Deborah Rohm Young, chair of the AHA panel that wrote the new advisory.

「美國心臟協會」（AHA）警告，即使您規律運動，久坐仍可能對您的心臟不利。美國心臟協會專家小組組長黛博拉．羅門．楊恩說，「根據現有的證據，我們發現美國成年人一天久坐約6至8小時。」該小組負責撰寫新的建議書。

The problem gets worse with age. "Adults 60 years and older spend between 8.5 to 9.6 hours a day in sedentary time. Regardless of how much physical activity someone gets, prolonged sedentary time could negatively impact the health of heart and blood vessels."Young said in an AHA news release.

這個問題將隨著年齡加劇。楊恩在AHA發布的一份新聞稿上指出，「60歲以上成人每天久坐時間約8.5至9.6個小時。無論一個人做了多少體能活動，久坐的時間都可能對心臟和血管健康造成負面影響。」

According to the AHA, people should try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise a day to reach the recommended 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week. That’s healthier than trying to cram their weekly exercise into one or two days.

AHA指出，人們1天應該嘗試至少30分鐘溫和至劇烈程度的運動，以達到1週150分鐘溫和運動，或75分鐘劇烈運動的建議標準。這會比每週集中在1到2天運動還要健康。

And sitting impacts more than just heart disease risk, the AHA said. A sedentary lifestyle may also be associated with an increased risk of diabetes and a higher risk of death. Still, more research is needed to determine just how much sitting time is safe.

而且，AHA指出，久坐的影響不只是心臟疾病的風險。久坐的生活型態可能也與糖尿病風險的增加，以及更高的死亡風險有關。然而，仍需更多研究才能判定坐多久時間才安全。
