The Effects of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting With Bouts of Physical Activity on Neurocognitive Function in Obesity

Participants will be asked to walk on a treadmill for 3 min at a moderate intensity (55% of heart rate reserve) at an increasing speed and incline to reach and maintain their target heart rate.

Every 30 min a researcher will start a brief conversation with a participant based on a pre-selected topic, which will change with each break. Topics are standardized across participants and include, for example, pollution, smart clothes, and hydration. A presentation will be followed by questions and answers. The break will last 3 min.
