Benefits of Movement Breaks
Preliminary findings from a study conducted by Columbia University Medical Center reveal the positive impact of movement breaks on individuals' fatigue levels and emotions. Participants who took movement breaks every half hour experienced a 30% improvement in fatigue levels, while those who took breaks every hour saw a 25% improvement, and those who took breaks every two hours experienced a 20% improvement. These results suggest a dose-response relationship, indicating that the more frequent the breaks, the greater the improvements.
