Effects of Postprandial Walking and Resistance Snacking on Glucose Responses in Adults With Metabolic Syndrome (BITE)
Effects of Postprandial Walking and Brief Resistance Exercise Snacks on Continuous Glucose and Heart Rate Variability Responses in Adults With Metabolic Syndrome and Prediabetes: A Randomized Crossover Trial
This study will examine whether light physical activity after meals can improve 24-hour glucose responses in adults with metabolic syndrome and prediabetes.
Participants will complete three experimental conditions in a randomized crossover order: prolonged sitting, 15 minutes of postprandial walking, and brief resistance exercise snacks consisting of squats and calf raises performed every 20 minutes during the postprandial period. Continuous glucose monitoring will be used to assess 24-hour glucose responses, and heart rate variability will be measured during the 2-hour postprandial period to evaluate acute autonomic responses.
The main outcome is 24-hour mean glucose derived from continuous glucose monitoring.

Descripción detallada
Metabolic syndrome and prediabetes are associated with impaired glucose regulation and increased cardiometabolic risk. Light physical activity after meals may help reduce postprandial glucose excursions and improve overall daily glucose control. However, it remains unclear whether brief resistance exercise snacks can provide glucose benefits comparable to postprandial walking under standardized meal conditions.
This study is a randomized crossover trial in adults aged 40 to 65 years with metabolic syndrome and prediabetes. Each participant will complete three experimental conditions in a randomized order: prolonged sitting, 15 minutes of walking after a standardized meal, and brief resistance exercise snacks performed every 20 minutes during the postprandial period. The resistance exercise snacks will consist of simple body-weight exercises, including squats and calf raises.
Glucose responses will be assessed using continuous glucose monitoring. The primary outcome will be 24-hour mean glucose after each experimental condition. Key secondary glycemic outcomes will include 2-hour postprandial glucose incremental area under the curve, 2-hour mean glucose, peak glucose, time to peak glucose, nocturnal mean glucose, and glycemic variability indices. Heart rate variability will be assessed during the 2-hour postprandial period using RR interval data collected with a chest strap heart rate monitor to evaluate acute autonomic responses to each condition.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether brief resistance exercise snacks can improve 24-hour glucose regulation and postprandial glucose responses compared with uninterrupted sitting, and whether these responses are comparable to postprandial walking.
