Exercise 'snacks,' or short bursts of activity, during long periods of sitting can lower blood pressure and blood sugar.
How to sit ergonomically without expensive equipment.The study tested five different exercise “snacks,” or short bursts of activity: one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute after 60 minutes; five minutes every 30; five minutes every 60; and no walking.
They stood up only for their prescribed exercise snack of walking on the treadmill or for restroom breaks. The research team monitored that each participant din’t over or under exercise and measured blood pressure and blood sugar-two key indicators of cardiovascular health. As far as blood pressure levels, all amounts of walking reduced blood pressure by 4 to 5 millimeters of mercury compared with sitting all day. “This is a sizeable decrease, comparable to the reduction you would expect from exercising daily for six months,”Levels of mood, fatigue, and cognitive performance was also measured during the testing. Every regimen except for walking one minute every hour led to decreases in fatigue and boots in moods.
