Silence of the Muscles: Wearable Electromyography, Sitting, and Type 2 Diabetes

Interrupting sitting is metabolically beneficial in type 2 diabetes. Wearable electromyography can identify opportunities for personalized care and mechanistic insight. Interrupting prolonged sitting in type 2 diabetes is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular benefits. Wearable electromyography enables precise quantification of the related muscle-excitation patterns. Integrating metabolic and electromyographic evidence from experimental and free-living conditions should not only inform the personalization of physical activity for type 2 diabetes management, but also open windows of opportunity for future mechanistic insight.
