Study Summary
Population studies suggest that time spent in sedentary behaviors is associated with all-cause mortality including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, independent of time spent in exercise. Frequent interruptions to sedentary time are however beneficially associated with metabolic health outcomes, even in individuals who exercise regularly. The goal is to use integrative approach to understand the biological mechanisms that underlie these associations in a longitudinal intervention study in overweight sedentary adults. The investigators believe that the proposed study will provide an initial evidence base for the health benefits of breaking up prolonged sitting with short bursts of activity. This innovative strategy may be more effective at combating the adverse effects of sedentary behaviors than more traditional approaches.
Primary Outcome
Over each 2 week period, participants will be instructed to wear an ActiPAL (PALTechnologies: Glasgow, Scotland) activity monitor on their right leg. Participants will be instructed to wear the monitors at all times except when sleeping or participating in water-based activities. The time-stamped "event" data file from the activPAL software will be used to determine time spent sitting/lying, standing and stepping per day.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Traditional Exercise Training
- BEHAVIORAL Daily Microbursts of Activity
