Interrupting prolonged sitting with short bouts of walking attenuate postprandial triglycerides in normotriglyceridemic and hypertriglyceridemic, postmenopausal women

The Effects of Displacing Sedentary Behavior With Two Distinct Patterns of Light Activity on Health Outcomes in Older Adults (Implications for COVID-19 Quarantine)

“…We observed significant reductions in fasting circulating TG. Acutely interrupting sitting time with brief bouts of LIPA attenuates postprandial TG concentrations (Miyashita et al, 2016;Kashiwabara et al, 2017), and habitual LIPA is associated with reduced TG in older adults (Ryan et al, 2015), which sit-to-stands; and WHR, waist to hip ratio. in turn is linked to reduced CVD risk (Baigent et al, 2010).…”

“…Light intensity physical activity (LIPA) during SB displacement, is a pre-requisite for long-term health benefits (Dohrn et al, 2018;Chastin et al, 2019;Stamatakis et al, 2019), due to LIPA generating superior responses in both muscle activity (MA; Tikkanen et al, 2013;Lerma et al, 2016), and energy expenditure (Carter et al, 2015;Lerma et al, 2016;Saeidifard et al, 2018), compared to stationary standing. Acute reductions in both postprandial glucose (Bailey and Locke, 2015;Welch et al, 2019) and triglycerides (TGs; Miyashita et al, 2016;Kashiwabara et al, 2017), as-well as chronic functional improvement (Barone Gibbs et al, 2017;Harvey et al, 2018), following SB displacement further highlights its potential to enhance cardio-metabolic health and physical function in older adults. However, despite a clearly established link with SB (Hamer and Stamatakis, 2013;Aggio et al, 2016), many functional markers like handgrip strength (HGS), have yet to be investigated.…”
