No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to analyze the chronic effects of sedentary behavior breaks using the leg extension isometric exercise in the cardiovascular health indicators of healthy adults exposed to prolonged time in the sitting position. The patients recruited will be randomized into two groups: leg extension isometric training (TIE) and control group (CG). The TIE group will perform 12 weeks of isometric training. The CG will be advised not to change their routine activities, especially diet and physical activities.In the pre and post-intervention periods cardiovascular measures will be obtained.
