Brief sitting may impair leg microvascular function; hypothesis-generating for inactivity effects, confirmation needed before clinical relevance.
Does a 10-minute period of inactivity reduce leg macrovascular and microvascular function in healthy young men?
A brief 10-minute period of sitting or immobile supine rest impairs leg microvascular function, which can be prevented by intermittent skeletal muscle contractions.
Vranish et al. (2018) studied this question.
