Scientific Innovation

Thermal imaging is an advanced and non-invasive technique used to evaluate organic responses resulting from exposure to sedentary behavior. This tool detects variations in blood flow, providing precise information about physiological changes associated with prolonged sedentary positions. By measuring the infrared radiation emitted by the skin, it is possible to infer changes in microcirculation and body temperature patterns, which are sensitive indicators of metabolic and vascular impacts. This approach is widely recognized for its high sensitivity and its ability to contribute to studies on cardiovascular health, thermoregulation, and the effects of sedentary behavior on the human body.
