Feasibility of Reducing and Breaking Up University Students' Sedentary Behaviour: Pilot Trial and Process Evaluation

Abstract: Background: Accumulating high levels of sedentary behaviour has been linked to poor health outcomes. This study examined the feasibility and preliminary, short-term effects of a theory-based intervention aimed at reducing total and prolonged sedentary behaviour in University students.Design: A quasi-experimental (pre-post) pilot study. Methods: Nine ambulatory undergraduate students (Mean age = 22 ± 2.32) participated in a one-on-one session, including an educational component around the health effects of sede… Show more

“…The most common intervention type combines an educational component (e.g., lectures, leaflets) and reinforcement through instant messages. Six studies (Nam and Cha, 16 Lua et al, 20 Sandrick et al, 21 Castro et al, 22 , Dillon et al, 23 and Hardan-Khalil et al 24 ) adopted this kind of intervention, 3 (Nam and Cha, 16 Lua et al, 20 and Dillon et al 23 ) of which with a passive control that did not receive any intervention (this makes it impossible to separate the educational component from the messages), while 2 (Sandrick et al 21 and Hardan-Khalil et al 24 ) had a control group that received the educational portion of the intervention but not the messages and 1 (Castro et al 22 ) did not have a control group (i.e., a “before and after” study).…”

“…Four studies (Castro et al, 22 Dillon et al, 23 Cotten and Prapavessis, 25 and Figueroa et al 26 ) only used messaging, but with varying characteristics of the control group. Two studies (Castro et al 22 and Figueroa et al 26 ) had no control at all (micro-randomized type and “before and after”), 1 article (Dillon et al 23 ) had a control that received no intervention, while the comparison group of the last study (Cotten and Prapavessis 25 ) received messages containing generic topics about health, but not specifically about physical activity.…”
