📍 The meta-analytical component of this review found both standing and walking breaks significantly ⬇️ postprandial glucose metabolism
📍 However, walking 🚶🏼♂️ elicited a significantly greater attenuation in postprandial glucose compared to prolonged sitting and standing breaks
📍 However, walking 🚶🏼♂️ elicited a significantly greater attenuation in postprandial glucose compared to prolonged sitting and standing breaks
📍Light-intensity walking 🚶🏼♂️ breaks were also shown to significantly improve postprandial insulin compared to prolonged sitting and standing breaks
📍But intermittent bouts of standing showed no significant effect on postprandial insulin compared to prolonged sitting 🪑
