Summary
This study tests whether light physical activity after meals can improve blood sugar levels in adults with metabolic syndrome and prediabetes. Twenty-five participants will try three routines in random order: sitting, a 15-minute walk, or brief resistance exercises like squats every 20 minutes after a meal. The goal is to see if these simple activities help lower average blood sugar over 24 hours.

postprandial walking and brief resistance exercise snacks
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to manage blood sugar after meals for people with prediabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises are short and may not produce lasting changes.
