Interrupting sitting acutely attenuates cardiometabolic risk markers in South Asian adults living with overweight and obesity.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study examined the acute effects of interrupting sitting with light-intensity walking on postprandial cardiometabolic risk markers in South Asian adults.

Methods

South Asians with overweight/obesity (n = 19; body mass index [BMI] > 23 kg·m^-2) and normal-weight (n = 8; BMI 18.0-22.9 kg·m^-2) aged 48.8 ± 5.6 years completed two, 5-h conditions: (1) prolonged sitting (SIT), and (2) interrupted sitting with 5-min bouts of light-intensity walking every 30-min (INT-SIT). Blood samples and resting expired air samples were collected throughout each condition. Statistical analyses were completed using linear mixed models.

Results

In participants with overweight/obesity, postprandial glucose, triglycerides (TAG) and metabolic load index (MLI) o
