Effect of alternating standing and sitting on blood pressure and pulse wave velocity during a simulated workday in adults with overweight/obesity
Objective: Reducing prolonged sitting at work has been recommended by an expert panel,
but whether intermittent standing improves vascular health is unclear. We aimed to test …
