StandUP UBC: Reducing Workplace Sitting

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Research indicates that sedentary behaviours, such as prolonged sitting, have negative health consequences and increases risk for disease. Unfortunately, many office-workers spend a high proportion of their workday sitting, often in prolonged unbroken bouts. Recent interventions have provided active workstations (e.g., sit-stand desks) to reduce employee sitting. However, cost prohibits provision of these desks in work environments. There is a need for low-cost solutions to reduce sitting at work. The purpose of this study is to determine whether provision of a low-cost standing desk reduces workplace sitting, and results in improvements in work engagement and fatigue, compared to usual practice.
