I don’t know if they have preliminary evidence supporting 5 min/30 min, but compliance will be a predictable problem— especially in many workplaces. A mere 25 minutes of uninterrupted work is not optimal for many tasks. Off work or among the retired maybe. And then of course are categories of professions where sitting is the exception through the day or shift. But, I really think they should have tested the irrl of 10 min/hr first.
