Interventions
Intermittent light walking
The participant will remain seated throughout the 1 hour experimental period. During this 1-hour period, participants will complete six bouts of 2.5-minutes of light intensity walking. Overall, the bouts will occur on six occasions, providing a total of 15 minutes of light intensity activity.
uninterrupted sitting
The participant will remain seated throughout the experimental period and will be instructed to minimize excessive movement, only rising from the chair to void. This experimental condition is designed to mimic prolonged uninterrupted sedentary behavior.
