Dear Colleagues,

Prolonged time spent in sedentary behavior affects a large part of the population around the world. It is estimated that adults, for example, engage in this behavior between 6 and 8 h/day, and that many deaths could be avoided by reducing sedentary behavior. From a global perspective, the research contributes to the broad understanding of sitting time for developing new interventions that reduce sedentary behavior. This Special Issue aims at advancing the literature on "Stand Up for Yourself! Tackling Sedentary Behavior through Exercise and Lifestyle Change" from an interdisciplinary approach. We, therefore, welcome theoretical or empirical contributions that broaden knowledge on those factors as social and biological mechanisms for reducing sedentary behavior.
