The Effects of Prolonged Standing Compared to Prolonged Sitting on Postprandial Lipemia

October 3, 2018 updated by: Edward F. Coyle, University of Texas at Austin
The effects of 12 hours of prolonged standing will be compared to prolonged standing on a high fat tolerance test the following day. Plasma triglycerides, insulin, and glucose will be measured in a crossover study design.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Prolonged Standing
Subject stand for 12 hours. The following day the subject will undergo a high fat tolerance test. Order of sitting/standing will be random and each subject will perform both interventions.
Behavioral: Prolonged Standing
Subject will stand for 12 hours and undergo a high fat tolerance test the subsequent day
Experimental: Prolonged Sitting
Subject sit for 12 hours. The following day the subject will undergo a high fat tolerance test. Order of sitting/standing will be random and each subject will perform both interventions.
Behavioral: Prolonged Sitting
Subject will sit for 12 hours and undergo a high fat tolerance test the subsequent day
