Measurements of microvascular function [tissue oxygenation index (TOI) recovery rate, % min⁻¹] pre- and postprolonged sitting in a control group (CON, no movement), passive leg movement group (PASS, passive leg movements every 30 min for 2 min at 1 Hz), and active leg movement group (ACT, active leg movements every 30 min for 2 min at 1 Hz at a 13 W workload). TOI recovery rate was lower after sitting in CON, and post-CON was less than post-PASS and post-ACT. Post-ACT was greater than post-CON and post-PASS. n = 14, *P < 0.05 vs. Pre, †P < 0.05 vs. PASS, ‡P < 0.05 vs. ACT. [Adapted and reused with permission from Park et al. (8).]
