Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will complete, in a random order, two, 4 h intervention sessions from 6 pm to 10 pm and one ~15 min introductory session. Each sessions will be separated by a minimum of six days. All sessions will be held at the University of Otago and will be conducted by an Assistant Research Fellow. A session attendance checklist will be collected so monitor participant movement through the intervention components.
Introductory Session:
The introductory session will take place at least seven days prior to the first 4h intervention session. During the introductory session, participants will have the opportunity to ask any questions they might have. A participant booklet will be provided and explains. This will contain information about the study, research team contact details and space to record session dates and times. Blood pressure, weight and height measurements will be taken. The regular activity breaks video which will be used during the 4h intervention sessions will be shown to each participant; they will have the opportunity to practice the movements and form will be corrected if required. A wrist worn accelerometer will be given to the participant as well as a sleep and wear time diary (which will be explained). Participants will be instructed to wear the accelerometer for seven consecutive days. Lastly, participants will be scheduled for their two 4h evening sessions.
The two intervention sessions are as follows:
1. Uninterrupted sitting: Participants will remain seated for the duration of the session while streaming their choice of entertainment on a device.
2. Sitting interrupted by regular activity breaks: Participants will complete a 3 min activity break every 30 min throughout the 4 h intervention session. At all other times they will remain seated and will stream their choice of entertainment on a device.
During each 4 h intervention session participants will be provided with a standardised dinner (of beef curry, rice and naan bread with margarine spread) at baseline and dessert (of boysenberry slice) at 120 min. Test meal serving sizes will be calculated using the Schofield equation to determine each participants estimated energy requirement (EER).
To ensure dietary intake is standardised during the day before the arrive for the intervention/control session standardised meals for breakfast (of cereal, milk, yoghurt and orange juice), morning tea (of caramel slice), lunch (of chicken noodle soup, ciabatta bread with margarine spread and cheese) and an optional snack (oaty slice bar) will be provided. All meals will need to be consumed prior to 2pm on the day of the 4 h intervention session.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
To be eligible for inclusion participants must be a non-smoker, self-report spending, on average, >5 h per day and >2 h in the evening engaged in sedentary behaviour and must not be taking any medication or dietary supplement that impact postprandial metabolism for example, metformin and/or niacin.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
40 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
This study requires participants to complete short bouts of physical activity, therefore participants will be excluded if physical activity is not medically appropriate (all participants will be screened using the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire prior to the study). If participants have been told by a medical professional that they should avoid physical activity, they will be excluded. Lastly, participants with an intolerance or allergy to dairy or gluten will be asked not to participate as the test meal includes these food items.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The randomisation sequence will be generated using STATA software and concealed electronically. The evening before each participant beings his or her first intervention session the next sequential randomization will be revealed and assigned. Participants will not be notified of which intervention they are completing until they arrive at their first session. By process of elimination however, participants will know their second intervention as soon as they begin the first 4 h intervention session.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation stratified by BMI status for the order of interventions will be performed for each participant and will be generated using STATA software.

Sample Size
A sample size of 30 participants will give 80% power to the 5% significance level, to detect a difference of 0.4 standard deviations. A sample size of 30 will also allow us to detect differences in the secondary outcomes of 0.4 standard deviations of insulin and triglyceride area under the curve and 20 min of sleep duration.

Statistical methods
This study is a crossover design therefore each participant will be compared to themselves and the mean difference between the uninterrupted sitting and regular activity breaks for the whole group is determined. The mean difference in the outcomes of interest between the two interventions will be estimated, along with 95% confidence intervals using mixed regression models where the intervention condition is the exposure variable, participant ID as a random effect and controlling for randomisation order. Effect moderation by weight status and sedentary and physical activity patterns will be done by mixed regression models stratified by the moderating variables.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will provide important evidence around how reducing sedentary behaviour in the evening by regularly performing short bouts of resistance activity may improve postprandial metabolism and sleep, both of which are important for cardio-metabolic health. We will conduct a randomised, crossover study involving 30 participants from across the BMI range. The study will include two experimental intervention sessions: uninterrupted sitting in the evening and sitting interrupted by regular activity breaks, separated by a minimum of six days washout period. Blood samples will be collected intermittently throughout the two intervention sessions and will be used to measure postprandial glucose, insulin and triglyceride responses. Sleep duration, efficiency and onset latency will be measured via accelerometer, and glucose control measured by continuous glucose monitoring during the 48 h after the intervention sessions. Mixed model regression will be used to examine differences in the effect of the two interventions.
