Interventions

OTHER

Sedentary

In this condition, participants will engage in 8 hours of uninterrupted sedentary behaviour.

OTHER

Sedentary With Breaks

In this condition participants will engage in 8 hours of sitting, although the sitting will be interrupted every 20 minutes. During these interruptions participants will spend 2 minutes walking at an intensity equivalent to 30% of VO2peak.

OTHER

Sedentary With Breaks and Physical Activity

In this condition participants will engage in 8 hours of sitting, although the sitting will be interrupted every 20 minutes. During these interruptions participants will spend 2 minutes walking at an intensity equivalent to 30% of VO2peak. Participants will also engage in 20 minutes of structured physical activity at an intensity of 60% of VO2peak in both the morning and afternoon.
