Status Completed

Sedentary behaviour of healthy subjects may have a detrimental impact on cerebral blood flow as well as cognitive measures related to mood and alertness. In this study we focus on the impact of leaving the desk to consume a cup of tea at regular intervals during a sedentary working day.

Clinical Trial Description

Prolonged desk work has detrimental impact on cerebral blood flow as well as cognitive measures related to mood and alertness caused. These effects might be prevented by taking short breaks with physical activity. Usually, desk workers have short breaks during office times for either a visit to the restroom or to enjoy for a moment a (hot) drink. Consumption of tea has been associated with benefits related to attention, alertness, mood and creativity. This study focuses on the impact of physically leaving the desk to prepare and consume a cup of tea at regular intervals during a sedentary working day. ;
