Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether breaking up prolonged sitting with short bouts of standing or walking improves postprandialmarkers of cardiometabolic health in women at high risk of type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty-two overweight/obese, dysglycemic, postmenopausal women (mean 6 SD age 66.6 6 4.7 years) each participated in two of the following treatments: prolonged, unbroken sitting (7.5 h) or prolonged sitting broken up with either standing or walking at a self-perceived light intensity (for 5 min every 30 min). Both allocation and treatment order were randomized. The incremental area under the curves (iAUCs) for glucose, insulin, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), and trig..
