Do you have access to the full article? Because the linked abstract do not mention diet at all and it only mentions muscle mass, not blood sugar levels, insulin resistance etc. I am just a casual reader of r/science bro, not an expert on whatever this field of study is. I am just going by the linked abstract.

“Effects of excessive food”? What you saying bro? The article does not mention people’s weight or level of food consumption as a factor at all.

I mean, that’s exactly what the article says, small bursts of activity counteracts the bad effects of prolonged sitting. “Activity snacks” is catchy and imo not misleading at all.

I love the term “activity snack” and am gonna use that from now on.
