Brief one-minute bursts of high-intensity exercise, termed 'exercise snacks,' are being studied for their impact on insulin sensitivity.

“And we're following them for three months, a 12-week intervention. And we're comparing it to a movement snacks control group. So a group that's getting a very similar intervention, but they're not engaging in vigorous intensity exercise. So it's more stretching, mobility exercise. And so the key variable that's changing there is the intensity of the movements. And we're seeing, you know, how do people adhere to that? Like, will people even do that? And if they do it, is it enough to move the needle in terms of things like cardiorespiratory fitness, blood markers of fat, immune function, glucose, and measures of insulin sensitivity as well?”
