Whilst these types of interventions have been effective in reducing sedentary time (29)(30)(31), these may not be appropriate in a flexible workplace where it may not be feasible to modify workstations across multiple locations, including employee residences.…”

“…Accordingly, the use of active workplaces is currently recommended (Buckley et al, 2015), although, there is a lack of evidence whether they have an impact on health (Neuhaus et al, 2014;Shrestha et al, 2018;Tew, Posso, Arundel, & McDaid, 2015). One important reason for this lack is the use of inconsistent and nonobjective SB measurements (Hutcheson, Piazza, & Knowlden, 2018;Stephenson, McDonough, Murphy, Nugent, & Mair, 2017). While medicine is very skilled in diagnosing the diseases, measuring the dose of SB is still in its infancy, and it is too early to establish evidence-based health recommendations on SB (Stamatakis et al, 2019;van Uffelen et al, 2010).…”

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with several chronic diseases and office workers especially are at increased risk. SB is defined by a sitting or reclined body posture with an energy expenditure of ≤1.5 metabolic equivalents. However, current objective methods to measure SB are not consistent with its definition. There is no consensus on which sensor placement and type should be used. Aim: To compare the accuracy of newly developed artificial intelligence models for 15 sensor placements in combination with four signal types (accelerometer only/plus gyroscope and/or magnetometer) to detect posture and physical in-/activity during desk-based activities. Method: Signal features for the model development were extracted from sensor raw data of 30 office workers performing 10 desk-based tasks, each lasting 5 min. Direct observation (posture) and indirect calorimetry (in-/activity) served as the reference criteria. The best classification model for each sensor was identified and compared among the sensor placements, both using Friedman and post hoc Wilcoxon tests (p ≤ .05). Results: Posture was most accurately measured with a lower body sensor, while in-/activity was most accurately measured with an upper body or waist sensor. The inclusion of additional signal types improved the posture classification for some placements, while the acceleration signal already contained the relevant signal information for the in-/activity classification. Overall, the thigh accelerometer most accurately classified desk-based SB. Conclusion: This study favors, in line with previous work, the measurement of SB with a thigh-worn accelerometer and adds the information that this sensor is also accurate in measuring physical in-/activity while sitting and standing.

“…Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to reduce SB for workers in their 50s, as they had the longest sedentary time per day, and for workers in their 40s, as they had the longest sedentary time during work hours. With respect to the correlation between sedentary time per day and occupation, many studies have reported that SB influences occupation in terms of the sedentary time during work hours and walking [6,14]. In general, desk workers or drivers spend most of their work hours seated, and it is difficult to reduce their sedentary time.…”

Article Information ABSTRACT History:Objectives: In order to reduce the sedentary behavior of workers who remain seated for extended periods of time, the correlation between sedentary behavior by time period and health indicators must be investigated. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between the sedentary behavior during work hours or per day and the amount of physical activity and health indicator. Methods:Based on an objective measurement method using an accelerometer and Inbody, the correlation among sedentary behavior, amount of physical activity, body fat percentage, muscle mass, and demographic variables in the survey of 101 Japanese workers was analyzed. For the amount of physical activity, a triaxial accelerometer was used to measure light-intensity lifestyle activity [1.6-2.9 metabolic equivalents (METs)], sedentary time (≤1.5 METs), and vigorous physical activity (3 METs or above), which was evaluated every 10 seconds. Results:The results reveal that the sedentary behavior by time period is related to gender, age, type of occupation, low-intensity physical activity, and walking time, in which low-intensity physical activity has a greater effect on the sedentary behavior than moderate-intensity or higher physical activity. Specifically, for the sedentary time during work hours, the subjects who perform more low-intensity physical activity had a shorter sedentary time than those who do not (OR = 0.41, 95 % CI = 0.17-0.97), and those who have longer walking times per day had a shorter sedentary time than those who do not (OR = 0.21,95 % CI = 0.62-0.72). Conclusions:In order to reduce the SB of workers in the future, research on developing a strategic intervention method based on the results of this study should be conducted.
