Larsen R, Ali H, Dempsey PC, et al. - In adults with overweight or obesity, researchers studied the impacts on postprandial glucose and insulin responses of interrupting sitting time with brief bouts of simple resistance activities (SRAs). Nineteen participants were hired for a randomized crossover trial comprising the following two 6-hour conditions: uninterrupted sitting or sitting with 3-minute bouts of SRAs (half-squats, calf raises, gluteal contractions, and knee raises) every 30 minutes (total duration = 27 minutes). According to findings, frequent interruptions to sitting time with SRAs reduced postprandial insulin responses and insulin:glucose in adults with overweight or obesity. These results may have consequences for mitigating cardiometabolic risk in overweight or obesity adults engaging in prolonged sitting periods.
