Nowadays, the increasing availability of technology and the transition towards more sedentary occupations and recreation activities make sedentary behaviours an emerging research topic in behavioural epidemiology. This is particularly important because the available evidence consolidates the harmful relationship between sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic risk markers and health outcomes. While the feasibility and benefits of changing sedentary behaviours have been demonstrated, this knowledge underpins the need for intersectoral public health interventions in workplaces and school settings. This book examines sedentary behaviours, current methods of assessment, the risk these behaviours present to individual health, and the importance of their interruption.

Deux grandes idéologies dominent nos sociétés occidentales : le déclinisme et le catastrophisme. Depuis le début du siècle, tous les événements semblent confirmer ce pronostic : le réchauffement climatique, le terrorisme islamiste, le coronavirus et, enfin, la guerre à l’Est de l’Europe de la Russie contre l’Ukraine.Face à cette situation, la doxa veut que le seul recours raisonnable soit de réintégrer le foyer, dernier refuge et protection contre la sauvagerie. Mais la maison de nos jours n’est pas un simple abri, elle est bien davantage: un espace en soi qui supplante et remplace le monde, un cocon connecté qui rend peu à peu superflu toute percée vers le dehors. Depuis son canapé, on peut jouir par procuration des plaisirs qu’offraient jadis le cinéma, le théâtre, les cafés. Tout ou presque peut nous être livré à domicile, y compris l’amour. Pourquoi dès lors sortir et s’exposer ? A l’instar du héros de la littérature russe Oblomov, qui vécut couché et ne parvint jamais à quitter son lit pour affronter l’existence, allons-nous devenir des êtres diminués, recroquevillés et atones ?Tout l’enjeu de cet essai est de dresser l’archéologie de cette mentalité du repli et du renoncement, d’en saisir les racines philosophiques et les contours historiques. Car jamais la tension entre le désir de vagabondage et le goût de la réclusion n’a été aussi forte. Et le confinement obligatoire, véritable cauchemar des dernières années, semble avoir été remplacé chez beaucoup par un auto-confinement volontaire. Fuite loin des villes, télétravail, condamnation du voyage et du tourisme, nous risquons de devenir des créatures de terrier qui se calfeutrent à la moindre secousse. Ce n’est pas la tyrannie sanitaire qui nous menace mais la tyrannie sédentaire : la pantoufle et la robe de chambre seront-elles les nouveaux emblèmes du monde d’après ?
