Study Summary

This trial is looking at how sitting too much can affect the body's response to exercise. The American Heart Association recommends exercising for at least 150 minutes per week to stay healthy. However, sitting for

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who are interested in how a day of sitting affects muscle response to exercise and energy use during and after cycling. Participants should be able to complete one day with less than 5,000 steps followed by an hour of biking. The study requires blood samples and muscle biopsies before and after exercise.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates the impact of a sedentary day on muscles' ability to respond to aerobic exercise, specifically cycling. It measures changes in carbohydrate and fat burning during and post-exercise through blood tests and muscle tissue analysis.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort or bruising from blood sample collection, soreness or risk of infection at the biopsy site where muscle tissue is collected, as well as general fatigue from the exercise.
