  • Sedentary Behavior Interrupted Randomized Controlled Trial (P2)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    Epidemiological findings indicate that older adults do not meet physical activity (PA) guidelines & spend up to 11 hrs/day sitting. Given the high prevalence of sedentary behavior (SB), the higher chronic disease risk in this population, & the age-associated challenges of meeting traditional PA guidelines, involving longer bouts of moderate PA, the investigators hypothesize that older adult health will benefit from new strategies to interrupt sitting. This protocol "Sedentary Behavior Interrupted: A randomized trial of 3-month effects on biomarkers of healthy aging and physical functioning in the real world (Project 2)" is part of a National Institutes of Aging Program Grant called "Sedentary Time & Aging Mortality and Physical Function (STAR). The overall purpose of the STAR program to is to better understand how to interrupt sitting time and the consequences for healthy aging in postmenopausal women. This protocol (also referred to Project 2 of the STAR program) is a 3-arm randomized control trial designed to assess ways of interrupting sitting in 405 overweight, postmenopausal women.

  • Sedentary Behavior Interrupted: A Trial of Acute Effects on Biomarkers of Healthy Aging

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This protocol "Sedentary Behavior Interrupted: A randomized crossover trial of acute effects on biomarkers of healthy aging in the laboratory (Project 1)" is part of a National Institutes of Aging Program Grant called "Sedentary Time & Aging Mortality and Physical Function (STAR). The overall purpose of the STAR program to is to better understand how to interrupt sitting time and the consequences for healthy aging in postmenopausal women. This protocol (also referred to Project 1 of the STAR program) is a 3-condition randomized crossover clinical trial of up to 86 postmenopausal women to test whether different interruptions to prolonged sitting improve metabolism.
