Summary

This study looks at whether brief, intense stair-climbing sessions (called 'exercise snacks') can improve blood vessel function and body composition in overweight adults aged 18-35. Sixty participants will be split into four groups, including a no-exercise control group, for 6-8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in artery health, body fat, and blood lipids.
