The Effect of Prolonged Sitting and Sitting Interruption on Cerebral Hemodynamics
Abstract
Introduction: Sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias. Increased cerebral arterial stiffening (AS) during acute bouts of SB could be a factor explaining this association. However, there is limited understanding of how acute SB affects cerebral AS, and whether interrupting SB can reduce cerebral AS. Studies & Methods: Data from 22 sedentary (>8 hours sitting daily), physically inactive (
