Health Effects of Increasing Muscle Activation While Sitting in Office Workers

Blood Pressure Clinical Trial

Official title:
Health Effects of Increasing Muscle Activation While Sitting in Office Workers

Clinical Trial Summary

Previous research suggests that prolonged sitting increases risk for cardiometabolic diseases and the risk factors associated with cardiometabolic diseases. However, no study to date has examined if a chronic intervention that breaks up prolonged sitting in a real-world environment results in a reduction in the metabolic risk factors associated with cardiometabolic diseases. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine the potential health benefits of breaking up sitting bouts throughout the workday using a small cycling device (DeskCycle) in office workers involved with jobs that require prolonged bouts of sitting. The investigators hypothesize that breaking up sitting will be associated with improvements in cardiometabolic disease risk factors. More specifically, the investigators hypothesize that breaking up sitting will decrease blood glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), increase cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), decrease blood pressure, decrease body fat, increase HDL cholesterol, and decrease LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides.
