Interrupting Sitting Time During Postprandial State

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sedentary Behavior

In brief

The literature has shown that interrupting sitting time with frequent physical activities (e.g., cycling on a stationary bike for 3 minutes every 30 minutes of sitting) is effective for decreasing blood sugar levels. However, the optimal frequency and distribution of sitting interruption remains less clear. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two different protocols of sitting interruption (i.e., 3 minutes of cycling every 30 minutes versus 3 minutes of cycling every 15 minutes) on blood sugar levels.
