What if just a few seconds of movement repeated a few times in a row could offer health benefits? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, a small study has found benefits of this style of training, with participants improving a measure of aerobic fitness.
People who sat for eight hours but interrupted their inactivity with four seconds of "all-out" sprints on a special stationary bike every hour — 160 seconds of total exercise per day — burned more fat and had lower levels of triglycerides the next day compared to people who kept sitting. What does this mean for the rest of us? Follow the link below to read more about the study.
