Prolonged sitting has been known to impair peripheral vascular function and often occurs in enclosed spaces with mild hypercapnic atmospheres. Our research group has previously confirmed the negative effects of prolonged sitting and found those effects were exacerbated with the addition of mild hypercapnia. Previous literature has attempted to negate the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting with activity breaks such as short period of walking and fidgeting but none have investigated the mechanism of Group III muscle afferent activation during those activity breaks on vascular function. Therefore, we sought to examine the impacts of Group III muscle afferent activation (passive movement) in healthy adults during prolonged sitting with mild hypercapnia. Fourteen healthy young adults participated in two experimental visits that consisted of sitting for 2.5 h in a control condition [mild hypercapnic condition (CO2 = 1500 ppm) sitting with no leg movement (NCH)] or a mild hypercapnic condition with passive movement during sitting (PCH). At both visits, measures of blood pressure (BP), brachial and popliteal artery endothelial function (FMD), arterial stiffness (PWV), augmentation index (AIx), Heart rate variability (HRV) and skeletal muscle oxygen utility in subjects. Significant group by time interactions (p

The morning time works better for my schedule. I have classes most of the afternoon into the evening.
