Abstract: BackgroundExcessive sitting has been linked to poor health. It is unknown whether reducing total sitting time or increasing brief sit-to-stand transitions is more beneficial. We conducted a randomized pilot study to assess whether it is feasible for working and non-working older adults to reduce these two different behavioral targets.MethodsThirty adults (15 workers and 15 non-workers) age 50–70 years were randomized to one of two conditions (a 2-hour reduction in daily sitting or accumulating 30 additional br… Show more

“…Full study characteristics for these interventions are detailed in Table 1. Of the thirteen studies, seven were randomized controlled trials (1, 3, 9, 14, 16, 17, 22), five utilized a single-sample ‘pre-post’ design (4, 10, 11, 18, 23), and one used a quasi-experimental (non-randomized) design consisting of a post hoc addition to a larger observational study (15). …”

“…Further, five studies focused specifically on healthy adults (1, 9–11, 15), four on overweight and obese adults (BMI ≥25 kg/m 2 ) (3, 4, 14, 22), and two on adults with either diabetes (23) or risk factors for diabetes (3). All studies included both males and females, although eight of the included 13 interventions had a majority (>50%) of female participants (1, 3, 4, 11, 15, 16, 18, 22, 23). …”
