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.
Background: During whole blood donation (BD), 500 mL of blood is drawn. The time interval between two BDs is at least 8-12 weeks. This period might be insufficient for restoring hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and iron especially in women, who generally have lower Hbmass and iron availability.

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.

To analyze blood samples for a certain period of time after blood collection, it is necessary to know the stability of the COHb% during storage. The aim of the study was to determine the stability of COHb% at different storage temperatures over a period of up to 3 months.
