• Various terms and definitions have emerged to describe approaches for interrupting sedentary behavior through regular, short bouts (≤10 min) of accumulated exercise (SBAE) throughout the day. These include concepts such as “accumulated exercise,” “exercise snacks,” “sedentary breaks,” or “interrupting prolonged sitting.” • The evidence on the effects and feasibility of SBAE remains diverse and inconsistent, and current physical activity or exercise guidelines and related consensus statements provide insufficient clarity on SBAE recommendations. No study has comprehensively synthesized SBAE strategies from an integrative perspective, summarizing their operational definitions, effects, feasibility, associations with disease, application recommendations, and future directions, nor has any study attempted to establish a consensus. • SBAE is defined as any exercise mode, regardless of intensity, that is accumulated in either continuous or intermittent bouts lasting ≤10 min per session (including multiple intermittent sets) that are performed multiple (≥2 sessions/day) per day, with intervals between bouts that either allow for complete recovery or last ≥30 min. • When used to interrupt prolonged periods of sedentary time, SBAE mitigates the acute adverse effects of sedentary behavior on more than 10 clinical biomarkers of endocrine, cardiovascular, and brain health/function. Moreover, SBAE is superior for acutely improving glycemic control compared to a single continuous exercis...
