Adherence
Female university students spend significantly more total time on sedentary behavior than male students during pandemic restrictions, with females averaging 14.19 hours/day on weekdays and 15.22 hours/day on weekends compared to males' 12.90 and 14.10 hours respectively.
Women in lockdown environments tend to accumulate more sedentary time than men. If you are female, be extra vigilant about scheduling movement, as you may be more susceptible to the sedentary pull of remote work/study environments.
