Physiology Friday #215: Sitting Less Improves Blood Pressure

Physiologically Speaking

Prolonged sitting also leads to a bending of major arteries in our legs, leading to a blood flow pattern known as turbulent flow, blood pooling, impaired circulation, and endothelial dysfunction. They also had measures of body weight and circumferences and blood pressure assessed at these time points.
