Hope you are well.
I am having trouble understanding the conclusion of this study.
There was a significant decline in SIT MCAv (-3.2±1.2 cm.s-1) compared to 2WALK (0.6±1.5 cm.s-1, p=0.02), but not between SIT and 8WALK (-1.2±1.0 cm.s-1, p=0.14). For CA, the change in 2WALK very low frequency phase (4.47±4.07 degrees) was significantly greater than SIT (-3.38±2.82 degrees, p=0.02). There was no significant change in MCA or carotid artery CVR (p>0.05). Results indicate that prolonged, uninterrupted sitting in healthy desk workers reduces cerebral blood flow, however this is offset when frequent, short-duration walking breaks are incorporated.
I currently spend 10 hours a day sitting in front of a computer. Over the past month I have been breaking those sitting periods up by walking for 6 min every 1.5 hr.
Do the results of this study suggest that I might do better by walking for 2 min out of every 30 min, instead?
Or am I reading this wrong?
Cheers,
