- Brief Summary
The results showed that the baseline characteristics of the participants were not different between the control and intervention groups. The metabolic risk factors were not changed across 8 weeks of intervention in both control and intervention groups. The popliteal FMD was significantly increased in walking break participants. Furthermore, the effect of walking breaks on the FMD was greater than the attention control groups.

- Target Recruitment

The participants will be recruited if they are healthy sedentary men and women who are desk-based office workers aged between 18-35 years will be recruited. All participants work at least 35 hours per week and report sitting for a minimum of 75% of their normal workday. All participants engage in less than 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity per week. Because fluctuations in estrogen can affect cardiovascular measurements, women will be reported for outcome measurements in the early follicular phase. Women reporting contraceptive use will be tested during the placebo week.
Exclusion criteria include the following: any history or symptom of CVDs, pulmonary, metabolic, or neurological disease, BMI over 30 kg/m2, pregnant women, taking medication that may influence vascular function, and smoking
