Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Prolonged Sitting	Prolonged Sitting	Subject sit for 12 hours. The following day the subject will undergo a high fat tolerance test. Order of sitting/standing will be random and each subject will perform both interventions.
Prolonged Standing	Prolonged Standing	Subject stand for 12 hours. The following day the subject will undergo a high fat tolerance test. Order of sitting/standing will be random and each subject will perform both interventions.
