Movement breaks improve fatigue levels and emotions

Preliminary findings from a study conducted by Columbia University Medical Center show that integrating movement breaks into daily routines improves fatigue levels and emotional well-being. Participants who took breaks every half hour reported a 30% improvement in fatigue levels, while those who took breaks every hour and every two hours experienced 25% and 20% improvements, respectively. Additionally, the study found that participants saw improvements in positive emotions and decreases in negative emotions. These findings suggest the importance of incorporating regular movement breaks into daily activities to enhance overall well-being.
