About this study
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 4 days of sitting and moderate exercise on plasma triglyceride elevation after a meal.
Read the detailed description
Subjects will undergo three weeks (two intervention, one washout) of testing during which they will participate in two conditions: 1) prolonged sitting (~14-hours/day) with a 1-hour bout of acute exercise at 65% of pre-intervention VO2max and 2) prolonged sitting (~14-hours/day) without an acute bout of exercise. During each intervention week, subjects will have 2 days of dietary and activity control, followed by 4 days during which prolonged sitting will occur. On the evening of the 4th day, subjects in the exercise group will perform the acute bout of exercise. On day 5, all subjects will undergo a lipid tolerance test to determine the body's ability to clear triglycerides from the blood as well as insulin/glucose response and substrate oxidation. Blood samples will be assayed for the previously mentioned substances and postprandial gas collection will be analyzed via indirect calorimetry.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Prolonged sitting with exerciseBehavioural
Subjects will have a 2-day control period during which step count and diet will be controlled for and recreated for the other trial. Following this 2-day period, they will undergo the prolonged sitting trial with the acute bout of exercise on day 4. Day 5 will consist of the lipid tolerance test to determine the ability of the body to clear triglycerides.
Prolonged sitting without exerciseBehavioural
Subjects will have a 2-day control period during which step count and diet will be controlled for and recreated for the other trial. Following this 2-day period, they will undergo the prolonged sitting trial, but will not be asked to complete an acute bout of exercise on day 4. Day 5 will consist of the lipid tolerance test to determine the ability of the body to clear triglycerides.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Prolonged sitting with exercise | Experimental | Subjects will be asked to undergo prolonged sitting (~14-hours/day) for 4 days. On the evening of day 4, they will be asked to run at 65% of VO2max for 1-hour. Receives: Behavioral: Prolonged sitting with exercise |
| Prolonged sitting without exercise | Experimental | Subjects will be asked to undergo prolonged sitting (~14-hours/day) for 4 days. Subjects will not be asked to complete the acute bout of exercise to serve as a control. Receives: Behavioral: Prolonged sitting without exercise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Measured: 6-hours
Secondary outcomes (2)
Plasma Insulin
Areas under the curve for insulin concentration will be calculated for hourly samples from a 6-hour lipid tolerance test
Measured: 6-hours

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Plasma Triglycerides (time frame: 6-hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
