The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of physical activity breaks during prolonged sitting on arterial stiffness, cortisol and psychological factors in adolescents. The results indicated that arterial stiffness increased after frequent and short step up activity breaks, suggesting potential intensity-dependent effects of physical activity on vascular regulation in youth.
Aim: In adults, prolonged periods of sitting have been linked to acute negative effects on vascular structure and function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of physical activity (PA) breaks during prolonged sitting on arterial stiffness, cortisol and psychological factors in adolescents. Methods: Adolescents underwent different short (3 min) breaks starting every 20 min, during 80 min of sitting on three separate days. Breaks were (A) social seated breaks (SOC), (B) low-intensity simple resistance activity PA breaks (SRA) and (C) moderate intensity step up PA breaks (STEP). The arterial stiffness measures were augmentation index (AIx), AIx@75 and pulse wave velocity (PWV). Cortisol was measured from saliva. Psychological factors were self-reported.Results: Eleven girls and six boys (average age 13.6 +/- 0.7 years) participated, with average baseline heart rates of 72 +/- 11 bpm, systolic/diastolic blood pressure 111 +/- 7/64 +/- 6 mmHg and cortisol 10.9 +/- 5.8 nmoL/L. PWV, cortisol and psychological factors did not change after any of the conditions. AIx@75 increased significantly (4.9 +/- 8.7- 9.2 +/- 13.2) after the STEP intervention compared with SOC and SRA (time x condition p < 0.05).Conclusion: Arterial stiffness increased after prolonged sitting with frequent, short step up activity breaks. The results indicate potential important intensity-dependent effects of physical activity on vascular regulation in youth.
