Research Gap · Health & Energy · Ready for resolution review
Which practical ways of interrupting prolonged sitting are sustainable and supported for health or functioning outcomes?
Prefer randomized crossover/field trials and systematic reviews that report both benefits and uncertainty.
Still open. A reviewed Evidence Decision and trusted Topic protocol exist, but no explicit closure record exists yet.
Evidence boundary
Do not invent a cognition-optimizing break interval, duration, or intensity.

Closure rule
Brali does not close this gap because a paper exists or because a protocol sounds plausible. Closure requires an explicit resolution whose reviewed Evidence Decisions map to this Topic and whose referenced protocols are present in the trusted protocol feed for the same Topic.
