I'm confused. "Hourly 4s sprints" sounds like one 4 second sprint every hour but the second paragraph of the summary says > Purpose > This study determined if the interruption of prolonged sitting (i.e.; 8-h of inactivity) with hourly cycling sprints of only 4-s duration each (i.e.; 4-s x 5 per h x 8-h = 160-s per day; SPRINTS) improves PPL. The 4-s sprints employed an inertial load ergometer and were followed by 45-…
Don't we need to warm up before doing any max intensity exercise to prevent injury.
Ok 4s/hour. 8 hours/day of sitting. So 32s day of total exercise!?! Still probably will not do it.
That is also how I initially read it, but the paper states that there were 5 sprints per hours for a total of 160 seconds a day. From the paper: > i.e.; 4-s x 5 per h x 8-h = 160-s per day
I wonder what other exercise modality this could be replaced with. Do 3 squats?
Jumping cold out of your couch/chair and sprinting 5 seconds every hour, multiple times a day, sounds to me like an optimized 'quickly destroy most of your body joints' routine.

The 4-s sprints employed an inertial load ergometer and were followed by 45-s of seated rest. So you would need to take a 5 x (4-s sprint + 45-s rest) = 245 seconds exercise break from work every hour and in…
This study used cycling sprints. I wonder if a similar effect would be observed with say, a set of pushups or squats every hour
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Still probably would not do it. But why? I wonder what other exercise modality this could be replaced with. Do 3 squats?
