Sedentary Behavior (SB) is defined as the time spent engaged in sitting or lying down activities that require an energy

along with the time it has been considered a strong risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases. SB is associated with
increased body mass, blood pressure, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic disease in general. SB may exacerbate the
