“…The majority of the included studies used a pretest posttest control group design (11/19) [36, 37, 39–41, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54]. Five studies used a non-equivalent pretest posttest control group design [42, 45, 47, 49, 55], and three studies used a multigroup pretest posttest design [43, 51, 53]. Of the included studies, six studies were conducted in the USA [41, 46, 48, 50, 51, 55], four in the UK [40, 45, 49, 52], three in Belgium [43, 44, 54], two in Australia [37, 42] and one each in Canada [39], Japan [53] and Taiwan [47].…”

“…Studies used a range of tools to self-monitor sedentary behavior. Specifically, six studies used a pedometer [41, 44, 47, 49, 50, 55], four studies used a traditional/electronic logbook or a questionnaire [43, 51, 52, 55], three studies used the Jawbone Up 24 [46, 48, 53], and one study each used the Shimmer accelerometer [54], the Fitbit One [39], the Gruve [40], the Lumoback [42], the Darma Crushion [45], the Garmin Vivofit 2 [37], and the SitFIT [36]. The shortest interventions lasted 1 week [53, 54], while the longest interventions lasted 1 year [40, 45].…”

Background Sedentary behavior occurs largely subconsciously, and thus specific behavior change techniques are needed to increase conscious awareness of sedentary behavior. Chief amongst these behavior change techniques is self-monitoring of sedentary behavior. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of existing interventions using self-monitoring to reduce sedentary behavior in adults. Methods Four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library) and grey literature (Google Scholar and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform) were searched to identify appropriate intervention studies. Only (cluster-)randomized controlled trials that 1) assessed the short-term effectiveness of an intervention aimed at the reduction of sedentary behavior, 2) used self-monitoring as a behavior change technique, and 3) were conducted in a sample of adults with an average age ≥ 18 years, were eligible for inclusion. Relevant data were extracted, and Hedge’s g was used as the measure of effect sizes. Random effects models were performed to conduct the meta-analysis. Results Nineteen intervention studies with a total of 2800 participants met the inclusion criteria. Results of the meta-analyses showed that interventions using self-monitoring significantly reduced total sedentary time (Hedges g = 0,32; 95% CI = 0,14 − 0,50; p = 0,001) and occupational sedentary time (Hedge’s g = 0,56; 95% CI = 0,07 − 0,90; p = 0,02) on the short term. Subgroup analyses showed that significant intervention effects were only found if objective self-monitoring tools were used (g = 0,40; 95% CI = 0,19 − 0,60; p < 0,001), and if the intervention only targeted sedentary behavior (g = 0,45; 95% CI = 0,15-0,75; p = 0,004). No significant intervention effects were found on the number of breaks in sedentary behavior. Conclusions Despite the small sample sizes, and the large heterogeneity, results of the current meta-analysis suggested that interventions using self-monitoring as a behavior change technique have the potential to reduce sedentary behavior in adults. If future – preferably large-scale studies – can prove that the reductions in sedentary behavior are attributable to self-monitoring and can confirm the sustainability of this behavior change, multi-level interventions including self-monitoring may impact public health by reducing sedentary behavior.

“…Despite the use of cluster randomisation techniques and allocation blinding, baseline imbalances were a high source of bias in five studies [45,59,62,63,78]. Contamination during the intervention due to spillover effects may have biased findings in six studies [63,67,68 four interventions that increased fat-free mass/total lean mass [45,64,67,75], one intervention that reduced body fat percentage [67], and one intervention that reduced total fat mass [75].…”

“…In Deutschland gibt es bis auf die hier beschriebenen Ergebnisse von Ellegast und Schellewald nur wenige Erfahrungen mit der wissenschaftlichen Evaluation von Interventionen, die das Sitzverhalten am Arbeitsplatz adressieren. Aus Australien ("Stand up Victoria") [18], aus Dänemark ("Take a Stand") [19] und aus England ("Beat the Seat") [20] gibt es Erfahrungen, die mit Kombinationen aus umgebungsbezogenen, organisationsbezogenen und an das Individuum gerichteten Maßnahmen unter Einbeziehen aller Ebenen des Managements positive Veränderungen in Bezug auf Sitzund Bewegungsverhaltens und gesundheitlicher Parameter zeigen konnten.…”

Zusammenfassung Ziel Die Gesundheitsgefährdung durch langes Sitzen auch am Arbeitsplatz ist ein wichtiges Problem unserer Zeit. Seine Lösung verlangt interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit von Expertinnen und Experten aus Wissenschaft und betrieblicher Praxis. Methodik Hierzu wurde im Februar 2019 in Berlin ein Workshop mit Fachleuten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen durchgeführt, der die derzeitigen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse der Gesundheitsgefährdung durch lange, wenig unterbrochene Sitzzeiten am Arbeitsplatz in verschiedenen Beiträgen thematisiert und betriebliche Lösungsansätze aufzeigt. Dieser Workshop wird hier in 2 Teilen dokumentiert. Genderrelevante Aspekte werden, wenn möglich, hervorgehoben. Ergebnisse Im vorliegenden Teil II werden Lösungsansätze aus der Praxis vorgestellt. Es werden neue Evaluationsergebnisse zu dynamischen Arbeitsstationen gezeigt. Zwei Beispiele geben einen Einblick in die betriebliche Praxis, die in Deutschland aktuell weniger von Maßnahmen zur Unterbrechung der Sitzzeiten als von Bewegungsförderung geprägt ist. In der abschließenden Plenumsdiskussion wird zusammengefasst, wie Interventionen am Arbeitsplatz gelingen können. Schlussfolgerung Entscheidungsträger erkennen zunehmend, dass im 21. Jahrhundert ein Trend hin zu körperlicher Unterforderung durch sedentäres Verhalten am Arbeitsplatz besteht, der die Gesundheit der Beschäftigten und der Bevölkerung generell gefährdet. Trotz Evidenzlücken können und sollten wissenschaftsbasierte Entscheidungen für Politik und Praxis getroffen werden. In Deutschland können wir dabei von den guten Beispielen anderer Länder lernen.

Efficacy of a Multicomponent Intervention to Reduce Workplace Sitting Time in Office Workers

Abstract: This short multicomponent workplace intervention was successful in reducing prolonged sitting and increasing physical activity in the workplace, although total sitting time was not reduced and the impact on cardiometabolic health was minimal.
