Eight weeks of high-intensity interval training is insufficient to prevent sitting-induced endothelial dysfunction and microvascular impairment.

Kasai N, Ihara H, Iemitsu M et al. · 2026 · Experimental physiology

Prolonged sitting disrupts lower-limb endothelial and microvascular function, likely via reduced shear stress and blunted microvascular reactivity. We examined whether Tabata-style high-intensity interval training (HIIT) mitigates this…
