Summary

Research has shown that replacing sitting time with low intensity physical activity (such as slowly walking and standing) has beneficial effects on metabolic health, like insulin sensitivity, comparable to improvements after sitting all day in combination with 1h streneous exercise.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the underlying mechanisms responsible for improved insulin sensitivity after 4 days of sitting less compared to sitting and exercise in healthy obese women. Our secondary objective is to investigate the effects of sitting less on cardio metabolic parameters.
