A sedentary lifestyle is not beneficial in any way, especially for women than men. Several studies suggest that a sedentary lifestyle as a teenager can cause hormonal imbalances and anovulatory cycles, consequences more commonly seen in PCOS patients. In the case of men, those with a sedentary lifestyle tend to be overweight or even obese, which leads to low sperm quality. So, in short, to prevent infertility you should stay active and eat right.
