Summary

Sitting or standing during a prolonged and uninterrupted period of time is related to negative health outcomes, such as lower extremity swelling. It is unknown if interrupting sedentary behavior by including brief bouts of standing up to the sitting time can attenuate lower leg swelling. Thus, our purpose is to examine if breaking sitting time by adding sit-to-stand transitions attenuates or even prevents lower leg swelling, compared with uninterrupted motionless standing and uninterrupted motionless sitting, using localized bioelectrical impedance raw parameters.
