Britain’s national lockdown has become a national sit-down, with 42% of UK adults admitting they are sitting for at least 14 hours longer a week, a new poll from ukactive has revealed.

Health experts said the figures pose a serious warning about physical inactivity in lockdown, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, older adults and those with long-term conditions that rely on COVID-secure gyms, pools and leisure facilities to stay active.
