“…Similarly, there are several studies that show that the use of messages through the smartphone aimed at enhancing the levels of PA in users is effective, since sedentary lifestyles can be reduced through reminders on the smartphone to get up when the user has been sitting for a long time, to go for a walk or do any simple exercise (McCoy et al, 2017; Dunning et al, 2018). Through virtual reality, some aspects related to PA can be improved more effectively, such as spatial orientation (Gómez-García et al, 2018).…”

Mini Review of the Use of the Mobile Phone and Its Repercussion in the Deficit of Physical Activity

Background Current technology has the ability to distract and evade its users, this resulting in an addiction or “escape” from the real world. The excessive use of smartphones can cause a decrease in physical activity (PA) for many people prefer to use these devices rather than do the recommended physical exercise. Objective The objective of this paper is to analyze the possible relation between the use of smartphones and the reduction in the practice of PA that is reflected in scientific articles. Methods The PRISMA statement has been followed for systematic reviews and meta-analyses in order to achieve a correct organization and integrity of the work. Our search for bibliography has been carried out in the WOS and Scopus databases, together with the research domains “Social Sciences Other Topics,” “Education Educational Research,” and “Sport Sciences.” After applying the inclusion criteria, a total of 14 articles were obtained, these forming the base body of this research. Results Nine of the fourteen articles show that there is a negative relationship between the smartphone and PA practice. The age groups most studied in relation to this topic range from 13 to 18 and from 19 to 25. Conclusion It is our conclusion that the inappropriate use of these mobile devices is associated with low levels of motivation and practice of PA in their users. Similarly, we have emphasized the lack of scientific work dealing with this issue.

“…A total of 10 studies investigating the chronic cardiovascular responses to breaks or reductions in sitting time were found ( Table 3 ), where 6 studies were randomized controlled trials and 4 were non-randomized non-controlled trials. The studies included healthy 47 48 49 50 51 52 , overweight/obese 53 54 and rheumathoid arthritis 55 subjects, with a specific study including both healthy and non-healthy adults 56 , with sample sizes ranging from 12 to 264. Also, the duration of interventions varied from 10 weeks up to 12 months.…”

“…Most studies used long-term strategies aimed at sitting reduction or sitting breaks throughout the day, usually through constant reminders of the importance of sitting breaks in the work environment, with some studies also using treadmill walking workstations. In order to verify the chronic cardiovascular responses to these interventions, studies evaluated blood pressure 47 48 49 50 51 53 54 55 56 , mean arterial pressure 52 and biomarkers 47 48 49 51 53 55 . TESTEX scores from the studies ranged from 3 to 10, with an average score of 7, indicating moderate quality, where only one study reached 10 points in the scale 54 .…”

“…All of the chronic studies investigated the effects of the interventions on blood pressure or heart rate. Most studies performed long-term intervention composed of constant e-mail, text messages or some form of motivation 47 48 50 51 52 55 56 as reminders to perform breaks in sitting time in the workplace, and found that the interventions were mostly effective in reducing systolic 51 56 , diastolic 51 56 and mean arterial pressure 52 56 after the intervention period, along with one study that found that the intervention prevented long-term increases in blood pressure in comparison to the control group 47 . In contrast, three studies found that these reminders to reduce sitting time did not lead to any significant post-intervention blood pressure results 48 50 55 .…”

Effects of Breaking Up Prolonged Sitting on Cardiovascular Parameters: A systematic Review

et al. 2021

The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the acute and chronic effects of sitting breaks on cardiovascular parameters. PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched by two independent researchers for relevant studies published until February 2020. Acute or chronic studies reporting the effects of sitting breaks or reduction in sitting time on cardiovascular parameters were examined. The eligibility criteria followed PICOS: Population - Humans ≥ 18 years old; Interventions – Sitting break strategies; Comparisons – Uninterrupted sitting; Outcomes – Cardiovascular parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, ambulatory blood pressure, vascular function, pulse-wave velocity, cerebral blood flow and biomarkers); Study design – Randomized controlled trials, non-randomized non-controlled trials and randomized crossover trials. Forty-five studies were included, where 35 investigated the acute and 10 the chronic effects of sitting breaks or reductions in sitting time. Walking was the main acute study strategy, used in different volumes (1 min 30 s to 30 min), intensities (light to vigorous) and frequencies (every 20 min to every 2 h). Acute studies found improvements on cardiovascular parameters, especially blood pressure, flow-mediated dilation, and biomarkers, whereas chronic studies found improvements mostly on blood pressure. Breaking up or reducing sitting time improves cardiovascular parameters, especially with walking.

“…However, there is still a paucity of evidence on the effect of workplace health programmes to reduce sedentary behaviour (Hadgraft et al 2020 ). Thus far, only one LMIC intervention study has demonstrated a drop in sedentary behaviour amongst office workers, by using tailored mobile text messages to interrupt sitting time (Dunning et al 2018 ). Messages reminding the study participants in the intervention group to stand up and take regular short walks were sent every 20 min during working hours in the working week, for the duration of the 10-week trial.…”

Background: Sedentary behaviour is associated with cardiometabolic diseases amongst office-bound workers, mostly through extended sitting and engaging in low-energy-demanding activities during work hours. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of standing desks and healthy messages on cardiovascular parameters in a cohort of office-based workers and to explore the perceptions of these workers about the suitability of this intervention to lower occupation-related sedentariness.Methods/design: The protocol will use a mixed-methods study design. Phase 1 of this study is a 12-month, single blinded, randomised controlled trial, which will include baseline, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month post-intervention assessments of plausible cardiometabolic risk biomarkers in office-bound workers at a South African credit and information management company. These biomarkers include anthropometry, sedentary behaviour and physical activity, sleep duration, blood pressure, glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile and cardiorespiratory fitness. Participants will be randomised into an intervention or control group. The intervention group will be provided with an adjustable sit–stand desk and receive weekly health-promoting messages for the intervention period. Phase 2 will use focus group discussions conducted post-intervention to explore the study participants’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the intervention. Cardiometabolic risk biomarkers and changes in these variables will be compared between the intervention group and the control group at the four time points using descriptive and inferential statistics.Discussion: Regression analysis will be undertaken to determine the association of cardiometabolic risk biomarkers with cardiometabolic diseases. A thematic content analysis approach will be used to explore emerging themes from focus group discussions.Protocol identification: Pan African Clinical Trial Registry, PACTR201911656014962.

Abstract: Sitting time was lower during the message-receiving period, but the difference between groups was no longer apparent after the intervention.
