Alternating Sitting and Standing Increases the Workplace Energy Expenditure of Overweight Adults.

Background: To determine whether alternating bouts of sitting and standing at work influences daily workplace energy expenditure (EE).

Methods: Twenty-three overweight/obese office workers (mean ± SD; age: 48.2 ± 7.

Alternating bouts of sitting and standing attenuate postprandial glucose responses.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine whether reductions in sitting time through alternating 30-min bouts of sitting and standing can reduce postprandial glucose, insulin, and triglyceride responses.

Methods: Twenty-three overweight/obese sedentary office workers (17 males and six females; mean ± SD: age, 48.2 ± 7.
