The Effectiveness of Exercise Snacks as a Time-Efficient Treatment for Improving Cardiometabolic Health in Adults

Abstract

This systematic review and meta-analysis examines whether short bursts of exercise performed throughout the day can improve cardiometabolic health in adults. Researchers analyzed 27 studies involving 970 participants and evaluated outcomes including cardiovascular fitness, body fat, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol. The findings indicate that these brief exercise sessions were associated with improvements in several cardiometabolic measures, although significant effects were not observed for body mass or triglycerides.
