Key result
Interrupting prolonged sitting increases flow-mediated dilation by ~1.7% and blood flow versus uninterrupted sitting.
Why the study?
Do prolonged sitting interruption strategies improve shear rate, flow-mediated dilation, and blood flow in adults compared to uninterrupted prolonged sitting?
Meta-Analysis
randomized cross-over
Do prolonged sitting interruption strategies improve shear rate, flow-mediated dilation, and blood flow in adults compared to uninterrupted prolonged sitting?
Prolonged sitting interruption strategies effectively prevent endothelial dysfunction caused by acute exposure to uninterrupted prolonged sitting by increasing shear rate, flow-mediated dilation, and blood flow.
Supports interrupting prolonged sitting to mitigate acute endothelial dysfunction; confirms benefits across randomized crossover trials.
; 95% CI: 3.00 to 12.17), FMD (MD: 1.74%; 95% CI: 0.55 to 2.93) and BF (MD: 12.08 ml/min; 95% CI: 7.61 to 16.55) when compared with the uninterrupted prolonged sitting condition. Prolonged sitting interruption strategies significantly increase SR, FMD and BF, therefore, they represent a considerable effective preventive method on endothelial dysfunction caused by acute exposure to uninterrupted prolonged sitting.

Soto-Rodríguez et al. (2022) conducted a meta-analysis in endothelial dysfunction. Prolonged sitting interruption strategies vs. uninterrupted prolonged sitting was evaluated on flow-mediated dilation (FMD) (MD 1.74%, 95% CI 0.55 to 2.93). Prolonged sitting interruption strategies significantly increased flow-mediated dilation (MD 1.74%; 95% CI 0.55-2.93) and blood flow compared with uninterrupted prolonged sitting.
