Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the installation of sit-stand work stations could lead to decreased sedentary time and increased physical activity during the workday among sedentary office workers.

Conditions

  • Sedentary

Interventions

OTHER

Sit-Stand Desk

Subjects were asked to participate in the study for a total period of three months. Based on randomization, either the first or third month involved the active intervention to use an adjustable sit-stand desk. The other two months required the subjects to follow their usual work routine without the adjustable sit-stand desk. The control period month involved all the same measurements as the active intervention month, whereas the washout period, which was the 2nd (middle) month, did not involve any measurement and there was no contact with the subjects during the washout month.
