Article Synopsis
  • Sedentary behavior (SB) is linked to health issues like obesity and diabetes, and while physical activity (PA) might help, its effects on inflammation and cardiometabolic responses remain unclear.
  • A study involving 17 young adults assessed how light-intensity PA snacks (like standing or walking) compared to prolonged sitting affected health markers during an 8-hour work simulation.
  • Results showed that light-intensity activities led to significant positive changes in various inflammatory and cardiometabolic markers, indicating potential health benefits over uninterrupted sitting.

Aims: To investigate how a change in body position with light-intensity physical activity (PA) 'snacks' (LIPAS, alternate sitting and standing, walking or standing continuously) compared with uninterrupted prolonged sitting affects glucose metabolism and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters in young adults with overweight and obesity.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a four-arm randomized controlled crossover trial. The following conditions were tested during an 8-h simulated workday: uninterrupted prolonged sitting (SIT), alternate sitting and standing (SIT-STAND; 2.

Plasma volume (PV) undergoes constant and dynamic changes, leading to a large intra-day variability in healthy individuals. Hydration is known to induce PV changes; however, the response to the intake of osmotically different fluids is still not fully understood. In a randomized controlled crossover trial, 18 healthy individuals (10 females) orally received an individual amount of an isotonic sodium-chloride (ISO), Ringer (RIN), or glucose (GLU) solution.
