Effects of interrupting sitting with different activity bouts on postprandial lipemia: A randomized crossover trial.

To determine whether interrupting prolonged sitting with three different activity breaks has both acute and chronic effects on postprandial lipid metabolism immediately after the activity-break period and on the following day, this study is a secondary analysis of an experimental research, which included 16 sedentary healthy adults (7 men, 24 ± 3 years, BMI 22.2 ± 2.3 kg/m ) who completed four 26-h laboratory trials.

Metabolic Effects of Three Different Activity Bouts during Sitting in Inactive Adults.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether interrupting prolonged sitting with three different walking-bout schedules improves glycemic metabolism relative to continuous prolonged sitting in sedentary adults.

Methods: In a randomized, crossover trial, 16 inactive healthy adults (7 men, 24 ± 3 yr old) completed four 26-h laboratory sessions, including 22.5 h in an energy expenditure (EE)-testing calorimeter chamber.
