Title: Workplace Sitting and Height-adjustable Workstations: a Randomized Controlled Trial
257 words; 300 max.) Background: Desk-based office employees sit for most of their working day. To address excessive sitting as a newly-identified health risk, best practice frameworks suggest a multicomponent approach. However, these approaches are resource intensive and knowledge about their impact is limited. Purpose: To compare the efficacy of a multi-component intervention to reduce workpl...
متن کاملProviding NHS staff with height-adjustable workstations and behaviour change strategies to reduce workplace sitting time: protocol for the Stand More AT (SMArT) Work cluster randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND High levels of sedentary behaviour (i.e., sitting) are a risk factor for poor health. With high levels of sitting widespread in desk-based office workers, office workplaces are an appropriate setting for interventions aimed at reducing sedentary behaviour. This paper describes the development processes and proposed intervention procedures of Stand More AT (SMArT) Work, a multi-compon...
متن کاملThe Impact and Feasibility of Introducing Height-Adjustable Desks on Adolescents' Sitting in a Secondary School Classroom
Children spend over 60% of their school day sitting; much of this occurs in the classroom. Emerging research has examined the impact of environmental interventions on classroom sitting. While this research is promising, it has predominantly focused on the primary school setting. This study examined the impact and feasibility of height-adjustable desks on time spent sitting/standing during class...
متن کاملIterative development of Stand Up Australia: a multi-component intervention to reduce workplace sitting
BACKGROUND Sitting, particularly in prolonged, unbroken bouts, is widespread within the office workplace, yet few interventions have addressed this newly-identified health risk behaviour. This paper describes the iterative development process and resulting intervention procedures for the Stand Up Australia research program focusing on a multi-component workplace intervention to reduce sitting t...
متن کاملSitting with adjustable ischial and back supports: biomechanical changes.
STUDY DESIGN The seat and back contact force, pressure distribution, lumbar lordosis, and low back muscle activities associated with a new seat design with adjustable ischial support and backrest were investigated using kinematic, kinetic, electromyographic, and radiographic measurements. OBJECTIVES To investigate the biomechanical effects of adjusting ischial and backrest supports during sit...
