Multiple short bouts of exercise are better than a single continuous bout for cardiometabolic health: a randomised crossover trial.

Purpose: To compare cardiometabolic responses to five consecutive days of daily postprandial exercise accumulated in three 10-min bouts or a single 30-min bout to a no-exercise control.

Methods: Ten insufficiently active adults completed three trials in a randomised order. Each trial comprised five consecutive days of 30 min of exercise either accumulated in three separate 10-min bouts (ACC) after main meals; a single 30-min bout after dinner (CONT); or a no-exercise control (NOEX).

A comparison of acute glycaemic responses to accumulated or single bout walking exercise in apparently healthy, insufficiently active adults.

Objectives: To investigate the acute glyacaemic response to accumulated or single bout walking exercise in apparently healthy adults.

Design: Three arm, randomised crossover control study.

Methods: Ten adults (age: 50±12.
