“…Further, Gardner et al (2016) suggested that incorporating planning components into workplace sedentary interventions might be useful because occupational SB occurs in more predictable and structured contexts than leisure SB. These findings are also consistent with evidence that suggests that self‐regulatory strategies are promising behaviour change techniques to incorporate into sedentary interventions to reduce contextual barriers, decrease sitting time, and improve cardiometabolic risk (Brierley et al, 2019; Gardner et al, 2016).…”

“…Our findings may have important implications for health outcomes. It has been identified that workplace SB reduction interventions-especially those incorporating behaviour change techniques such as problem solving, goal setting, behavour substitution, and habit reversal-show promise for improving cardiometabolic risk markers (Brierley, Chater, Smith, & Bailey, 2019). A reduction in sitting time by 87 min/day, increases in time spent standing (+32.56 min/ day), walking (+14.33 min/day), and stretching (+11.34 min/day), as well as more frequent interruptions may result in positive health effects and, if sustained over time, could be associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and all-cause mortality (Patterson et al, 2018).…”

Background: Office-working adults represent an at-risk population for high levels of sedentary behaviour (SB), which has been associated with an increased risk for numerous chronic diseases. This study examined the effectiveness of a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) based planning intervention augmented with tailored text messages to reduce workplace sitting time (primary outcome) and increase specific non-SBs (i.e. standing time, walking time, stretching time, break frequency, break duration). A secondary purpose was to examine relationships among HAPA volitional constructs and sedentary and non-SBs. Methods: Full-time office workers (M age = 45.18 AE 11.33 years) from Canada were randomised into either a HAPA intervention (n = 29) or control (n = 31) condition. Workplace sitting time, time spent in specific non-SBs, and HAPA volitional constructs were assessed at baseline, weeks 2, 4, 6 (post-intervention), and 8 (follow-up). Results: Significant group by time interaction effects, that favoured the intervention group, were found for sitting time (p = .003, ɳ p 2 = .07), standing time (p = .019, ɳ p 2 = .05), and stretching time (p = .001, ɳ p 2 = .08) as well as for action planning (p < .001, ɳ p 2 = .20), coping planning (p < .001, ɳ p 2 = .18), and action control (p < .001, ɳ p 2 = .15). Significant correlations (p < .05) were also found between the HAPA constructs and time spent sitting, standing, walking, as well as break frequency. Conclusions: Augmenting a HAPA-based planning intervention with text messages can reduce workplace sitting time in office workers. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03461926.

“…It is also possible that intervening on sitting behaviors, for example, by reducing the time spent sitting or increasing sit-to-stand transitions, could be the first step toward a more active lifestyle [ 18 ]. Changing sedentary behavior by reducing the time spent sitting has yielded favorable changes in blood pressure, glucose control, insulin sensitivity, and waist circumference [ 19 ]. Data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed to determine if changes in sedentary time lead to health improvements in older adults outside of worksite settings.…”

Background Many older adults spend the majority of their waking hours sitting, which increases their risk of chronic diseases. Given the challenges that many older adults face when engaging in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, understanding the health benefits of decreasing sitting time and increasing the number of sit-to-stand transitions is needed to address this growing public health concern. Objective The aim of this 3-arm randomized controlled trial is to investigate how changes in sitting time and brief sit-to-stand transitions impact biomarkers of healthy aging and physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning compared with a healthy attention control arm. Methods Sedentary and postmenopausal women (N=405) will be recruited and randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 study conditions for 3 months: healthy living attention control (Healthy Living), reduce sitting time (Reduce Sitting), and increase sit-to-stand transitions (Increase Transitions). Assessments conducted at baseline and 3 months included fasting blood draw, blood pressure, anthropometric measurements, physical functioning, cognitive testing, and 7 days of a thigh-worn accelerometer (activPAL) and a hip-worn accelerometer (ActiGraph). Blood-based biomarkers of healthy aging included those associated with glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin, fasting plasma insulin and glucose, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance). Results Recruitment began in May 2018. The intervention is ongoing, with data collection expected to continue through the end of 2022. Conclusions The Rise for Health study is designed to test whether 2 different approaches to interrupting sitting time can improve healthy aging in postmenopausal women. Results from this study may inform the development of sedentary behavior guidelines and interventions to reduce sitting time in older adults.

“…The accumulated evidence on the effects of such interventions has been discussed in several systematic reviews (SR). [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] The scope of these reviews largely varies according to whether included primary studies aim at specifically reducing SB, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] increasing PA [21][22][23][24] or both. 25 Some SRs have focused on specific types of interventions, such as height-adjustable workstations 16 19 or cycle and treadmill desks 23 ; while others have focused on specific types of outcomes (eg, health outcomes 15 23 24 ) or populations (eg, women 24 ).…”

Background and objectiveIncreasing rates of urbanisation have been accompanied by higher levels of sedentary behaviour (SB) and reduced physical activity (PA) worldwide. While physical inactivity has long been identified as a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality, increased concerns about the detrimental associations between SB and health has led to the development of many interventions aimed at reducing SB and/or promoting PA. Due to the prominence of sedentary time spent at work, the workplace has been identified as a key setting to implement such interventions. Building an evidence base of effective strategies to reduce SB and/or promote PA at work is needed to help reduce the health risks faced by many employees.Methods and analysisWe aim to conduct a review of reviews (RoR) to identify, evaluate and synthesise all systematic reviews (SRs) of workplace interventions aimed at reducing SB and/or promoting PA among adults. Systematic searches for relevant SRs will be conducted in six databases: Cochrane Systematic Review Database, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature through EBSCOhost, EMBASE, PubMed including MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science. Selection for final inclusion and data extraction will be performed by two independent reviewers. SRs will be included if they assessed interventions aimed at reducing SB or promoting PA in the workplace, and if they report on changes in the respective behavioural outcomes in the occupational domain.DiscussionThis RoR will be valuable to policy-makers and employers who are looking for strategies to promote health at work. This will also allow potential research gaps to be identified, so that the design of future studies can be better informed.Trial registerationThis study has been registered with the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (registration number CRD42020171774).
