🚨 New PhD Publication

Delighted to share this systematic review and meta-analysis on the acute effects of interrupting prolonged sitting πŸͺ‘ with standing and light-intensity walking πŸšΆπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈon biomarkers of cardiometabolic health

Open Access @SportsMedicineJ: link.springer.com/article/10.100… ImageImage
πŸ“ The meta-analytical component of this review found both standing and walking breaks significantly ⬇️ postprandial glucose metabolism

πŸ“ However, walking πŸšΆπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ elicited a significantly greater attenuation in postprandial glucose compared to prolonged sitting and standing breaks
πŸ“Light-intensity walking πŸšΆπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ breaks were also shown to significantly improve postprandial insulin compared to prolonged sitting and standing breaks

πŸ“But intermittent bouts of standing showed no significant effect on postprandial insulin compared to prolonged sitting πŸͺ‘
πŸ“ 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!
