Abstract
[Excerpt] Acute sedentary behavior, such as prolonged sitting, has a detrimental impact upon markers of central and peripheral arterial health, including arterial stiffness. Similarly, a high-fat meal can also negatively impact post-prandial measures of central and systemic arterial stiffness. However, the interaction between prolonged sitting and high-fat meal consumption and its effects on central and peripheral arterial health has not been investigated.
