Short exercise breaks for blood vessel health in overweight young adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether short bursts of exercise throughout the day (called 'exercise snacks') can improve blood vessel health and body composition in young adults who are overweight. If you qualify, you'd try these mini-workouts and we'd measure how your body responds.
