Research project funded by NIDDK to evaluate how interrupting sedentary behavior with short physical activity bouts affects glucose control in prediabetic adults, aiming to prevent type 2 diabetes.
Description
This project studies the effects of breaking up sedentary time with short bouts of physical activity to improve glucose control in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. It compares hourly 5-minute brisk walking bouts versus a single 45-minute brisk walk and involves clinical and molecular assessments to understand mechanisms.
