Summary

Societal changes have resulted in reduced demands to be active and increased daily time spent sitting. Excessive sitting has been shown to be a health hazard. The purpose of this study is to examine whether sedentary behaviour and diabetes information grounded in the Health Action Process Approach is a meaningful source of motivation to reduce daily sitting time among adult office workers. The intervention will target risk perceptions related to sitting by presenting research on prolonged sitting and diabetes risk, the effectiveness of breaking up prolonged sitting, and provide strategies to break up sitting. It is expected that participants who receive this information will report greater motivation and intentions to reduce both work and leisure sitting time.

Conditions

  • Sedentary Lifestyle

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HAPA SB Intervention Slideshow

In the experimental condition, participants will receive sedentary behaviour and diabetes information in the form of a slide show that will be viewed online. The intervention aims to address all components of the Health Action Process Approach. For the experimental group, the intervention material will target risk perceptions (RP) related to sitting by presenting evidence supported by research on sedentary behaviour and diabetes risk; outcome expectancies (OE) by presenting research on the effectiveness of breaking up sedentary time for improving blood sugar and insulin levels; and self-efficacy (SE) by providing strategies on how to reduce and break up sitting time.

BEHAVIORAL

HAPA MVPA Attention-Control Slideshow

In the attention-control, participants will receive information in the form of a slide show that will be viewed online. The intervention aims to address all components of the Health Action Process Approach. The attention-control slide show will take the same approach as the Experimental group slideshow but the slides will be geared towards meeting moderate-vigorous physical activity guidelines.
