From: Does breaking up prolonged sitting improve cognitive functions in sedentary adults? A mapping review and hypothesis formulation on the potential physiological mechanisms

Breaking sitting with low-to-moderate intensity physical activity is postulated to improve the vascular functions by improving the venous return. This improvement may be due to streamlining of the blood flow, flow mediated dilation and endothelial shear stress augmenting venous return and improved cortical perfusion
