🚨 New PhD Publication
Delighted to share this systematic review and meta-analysis on the acute effects of interrupting prolonged sitting 🪑 with standing and light-intensity walking 🚶🏼♂️on biomarkers of cardiometabolic health
Open Access @SportsMedicineJ: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
📍 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
📍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 🪑
📍 These findings suggest that standing breaks have a small beneficial effect compared to prolonged sitting on glucose metabolism, but that walking breaks represent a superior intervention
Many thanks to my excellent co-authors @mph8, @CKLangley95, Prof. Alan Donnelly and @DrBPCarson!
