Active Versus Passive Sitting, Cognition and Energy
Sponsor: University of Miami
Summary
The study will compare cognitive capacity, muscle utilization patterns, soft tissue seated pressure and caloric output during four seated conditions: 1. passive sitting in a regular chair; 2. passive sitting in an exercise chair; 3. sitting in the exercise chair during active dynamic exercise; and, 4. sitting in the chair during active static exercise.
Official title: Differences in Muscle Utilization, Tissue Pressure, Cognitive Performance, and Caloric Output Among Active and Passive Sitting Positions.

Conditions
Interventions
Chaircise
A chair-based exercise program using a specialized chair that allows participants to lift their body weight.
Chaircise + Dynamic Leg Exercise
A chair-based exercise program performed using a specialized exercise chair equipped with a foot-operated lever. Participants repeatedly depress and release the foot-operated lever during the intervention period.
Chaircise + Static Leg Exercise
A chair-based exercise program performed using a specialized exercise chair equipped with a foot-operated lever. Participants depress and maintain pressure on the foot-operated lever during the intervention period.
