The primary objectives of this study is to demonstrate to what degree frequent light-intensity exercise effects glucose handling, as well as beginning to establish a light intensity exercise protocol that demonstrates the most significant benefit in glucose handling when breaking up frequent bouts of sedentary behaviour. Secondary objectives of the study involved looking at chronic disease risk factors, executive function following 3 hours of constant sedentary time and 3 hours of sedentary time Show moreThe primary objectives of this study is to demonstrate to what degree frequent light-intensity exercise effects glucose handling, as well as beginning to establish a light intensity exercise protocol that demonstrates the most significant benefit in glucose handling when breaking up frequent bouts of sedentary behaviour. Secondary objectives of the study involved looking at chronic disease risk factors, executive function following 3 hours of constant sedentary time and 3 hours of sedentary time broken up with a 3-minute bout of light intensity exercise every 30 minutes.
