I would say it's safe to assume most people here sit A LOT.

So what's the state of research regarding whether you can make up for it with vigorous activity?

Does sitting itself cause problems? Seems to be some hidden variable.

Last I remember (don't remember the source) they found that vigorous exercise elsewhere in the day doesn't make up for it.

The article says there is research that contradicts that though.
