Özet:
Many jobs in today's society require sitting at a desk with little physical activity. Individuals who engage in ten hours of sedentary behavior per day double their CVD risk. Standing desks are thought to decrease sedentary time and improve cardiovascular health. Acute use of standing desks is shown to lower PWV. However, chronic effects remain unknown. Forty eight participants qualified as seated (19 females, 5 males: age 41 +/- 2 years, BMI 25 +/- 1 kg/m2) or standing (21 females, 3 males: age 45 +/- 2 years, BMI 25 +/- 1 kg/m2) groups based on habitual workplace use. Arterial stiffness was assessed as pulse wave velocity (PWV) by using applanation tonometry in conjunction with electrocardiography. No differences were detected in carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV) between seated and standing groups (p = 0.47). However, age (p < 0.01), aerobic fitness (p < 0.01), and fat percentage (p = 0.02) classifications revealed significant differences between groups. Standing for 50% of a workday does not affect cfPWV. Although, cardiorespiratory fitness and healthy body composition are associated with less arterial stiffness.
