The Effect of Tea Breaks on Cerebrovascular Perfusion During Desk Work

2019年8月6日 更新者:Unilever R&D
Sedentary behaviour of healthy subjects may have a detrimental impact on cerebral blood flow as well as cognitive measures related to mood and alertness. In this study we focus on the impact of leaving the desk to consume a cup of tea at regular intervals during a sedentary working day.

詳細な説明

Prolonged desk work has detrimental impact on cerebral blood flow as well as cognitive measures related to mood and alertness caused. These effects might be prevented by taking short breaks with physical activity. Usually, desk workers have short breaks during office times for either a visit to the restroom or to enjoy for a moment a (hot) drink. Consumption of tea has been associated with benefits related to attention, alertness, mood and creativity. This study focuses on the impact of physically leaving the desk to prepare and consume a cup of tea at regular intervals during a sedentary working day.

主要な結果の測定

結果測定
メジャーの説明
時間枠
Difference in cerebrovascular perfusion of tea versus water
時間枠:Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
Cerebrovascular perfusion measured as middle cerebral artery velocity
Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.

時間枠
Difference in cerebrovascular auto-regulation gain of tea versus water
時間枠:Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.

Dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation is assessed via squat-stand manoeuvres performed to elicit oscillations in blood pressure within the high-pass filter frequency range (<0.20 Hz) of the cerebrovascular. Squat-stand cycles are performed at 0.2 Hz (2.5-seconds squatting, followed by 2.5-seconds standing) and at 0.1 Hz (5-seconds squatting, followed by 5-seconds standing) for 5-minutes each, separated by a 5-minute rest.

Transfer function analysis is conducted on the beat-to-beat blood pressure and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity mean signals to produce values of gain (damping effect of Cerebrovascular autoregulation on the magnitude of blood pressure oscillations).

Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
Difference in cerebrovascular auto-regulation phase of tea versus water
時間枠:Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.

Dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation is assessed via squat-stand manoeuvres performed to elicit oscillations in blood pressure within the high-pass filter frequency range (<0.20 Hz) of the cerebrovascular.

Transfer function analysis is conducted on the beat-to-beat blood pressure and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity mean signals to produce values of phase (temporal relationship between changes in blood pressure and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity).

Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
Difference in cerebrovascular auto-regulation coherence of tea versus water
時間枠:Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.

Dynamic cerebrovascular auto-regulation is assessed via squat-stand manoeuvres performed to elicit oscillations in blood pressure within the high-pass filter frequency range (<0.20 Hz) of the cerebrovascular. Squat-stand cycles are performed at 0.2 Hz (2.5-seconds squatting, followed by 2.5-seconds standing) and at 0.1 Hz (5-seconds squatting, followed by 5-seconds standing) for 5-minutes each, separated by a 5-minute rest.

Transfer function analysis is conducted on the beat-to-beat blood pressure and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity mean signals to produce values of coherence (linearity of the relationship between the changes in middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity and blood pressure).

Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
