Patterns of Impact Resulting from a ‘Sit Less, Move More’ Web-Based Program in Sedentary Office Employees

摘要: Purpose Encouraging office workers to ‘sit less and move more’ encompasses two public health priorities. However, there is little evidence on the effectiveness of workplace interventions for reducing sitting, even about longer term effects such still dual-focused interventions. This study assessed short mid-term impacts a web-based intervention (Walk@WorkSpain, W@WS; 2010-11) self-reported sitting time, step counts physical risk factors (waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure) chronic disease. Methods Employees at six Spanish university campuses (n=264; 42±10 years; 171 female) were randomly assigned by worksite campus an Intervention (used n=129; 87 or Comparison group (maintained normal behavior; n=135; 84 female). phased, 19-week program aimed decrease occupational time through increased incidental movement walks. A linear mixed model changes in outcome measures between baseline, ramping (8 weeks), maintenance (11 weeks) follow-up (two months) phases versus groups. Results A significant 2 (group) × (program phases) interaction was found (F[3]=7.97, p=0.046), daily (F[3]=15.68, p=0.0013) waist circumference (F[3]=11.67, p=0.0086). The decreased minutes while also increasing from baseline (446±126; 8,862±2,475) (+425±120; 9,345±2,435), (+422±123; 9,638±3,131) (+414±129; 9,786±3,205). In group, compared (404±106), remained unchanged maintenance, but (-388±120), diminished across all phases. significantly reduced 2.1cms 1.3cms over same period. Conclusions W@WS feasible effective evidence-based that can be successfully deployed with sedentary employees elicit sustained “sitting moving more”.
