Clinical Trial Summary

This investigations examined the effect that posture has on metabolic and cardiovascular measurements. Further, it will explore the potential for body weight status or physical activity to influence these relationships. All subjects will complete a seated condition and a standing condition in a counterbalanced manner.

Description:

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate both metabolic and cardiovascular responses to acute bouts of computer work while sitting and standing. Cardiovascular measurements were made using continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring and metabolic measurements were made using indirect calorimetry. Subjects will be grouped and analyzed based upon the weight status of the subject. All subjects will complete a seated condition and a standing condition in a counterbalanced manner. Investigators hypothesize that metabolic and cardiovascular responses will be elevated in the standing condition compared to sitting.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Heart Rate	Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be used to measure heart rate based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Primary	Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)	Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be used to measure SBP based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Primary	Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)	Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be used to measure DBP based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Primary	Oxygen Consumption	Oxygen consumption will be measured using indirect calorimetry.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Primary	Carbon Dioxide Production	Carbon Dioxide will be measured using indirect calorimetry.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Primary	Ventilation	Ventilation will be measured using indirect calorimetry.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Primary	Respiratory Exchange Ration (RER)	RER will be calculated using oxygen and carbon dioxide value measure from indirect calorimetry.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Secondary	Height	Standard stadiometer will be used to measure height in meters.	1 minute
Secondary	Weight	Standard scale will be used to measure weight in kilograms.	1 minute
Secondary	Body Mass Index (BMI)	Height in meters and weight in kilograms will be used to calculate BMI using the formula BMI = kg/m^2.	1 minute
Secondary	Body Composition	Body composition will be measured using air displacement plethysmography.	Approximately 15 minutes
Secondary	Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR)	Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be uses to estimate TPR based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Secondary	Stroke Volume	Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be used to estimate TPR based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Secondary	Cardiac Output (Q)	Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be used to estimate Q based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
Secondary	Muscle Oxygen Saturation	Using Near-inferred spectroscopy muscle oxygen consumption will be monitored.	Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)
