Turns out, screens—not a lack of free time—are to blame for low levels of physical activity.
Researchers asked over 32,000 Americans to disclose how they spent a 24-hour period to determine free time, which was defined as any discretionary time a person had during their day not taken up by responsibilities such as caring for family members or self-care.
On average, people reported having more than 300 minutes of free time per day. Of that free time, most of it was spent as screen time. Men spent an average of 211 minutes of their free time looking at screens, while women spent 175 minutes . The rest of it, unfortunately, was not spent exercising. The researchers found that men reported they spent an average of just 24 minutes and women only spent 14 minutes sweating per day. However, these estimates are not precise and may not reflect pure moderate to vigorous physical activity, study author Deborah Cohen, M.D., M.P.H.
