However, when the simulations included social interactions between sedentary and moderately active people, sedentary populations became more physically active in the long term.
These simulations could also inform efforts to maintain physical fitness in the U.S. military, the researchers note. However, they say, more research will be needed to better understand the balance between encouraging exercise among sedentary people and retaining activity levels in moderately active people.
