Alternate local skin cooling and heating ameliorates impaired forearm skin vasodilation function mediated by prolonged sitting

Impaired vascular function leads to cardiovascular disease. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have found that prolonged sitting impairs forearm cutaneous vasodilation function. They also showed that alternating local skin cooling and heating mitigated this functional decline and improved the responsiveness of cutaneous vasoconstriction.

Sedentary behavior occupies a substantial portion of our daily lives. However, prolonged sitting adversely impacts health, primarily by impairing vascular…
