Faculty in the Division of Exercise Physiology are seeking participants ages 18 to 60 to examine the effectiveness of using a Cubii seated elliptical to increase physical activity during the workday.
Research has shown that prolonged sitting for more than four hours is adversely associated with negative health outcomes including cardiovascular disease, hypertension and impaired mental health.
Participants are eligible if they exercise less than 150 minutes per week, have no cardiovascular disease or musculoskeletal injuries and are not pregnant.
Those selected for the study will attend two assessments at the Human Performance Laboratory in the WVU Health Sciences Center, participate in eight weeks of exercise intervention at home and attend one follow up visit two months after the end of the exercise intervention.
