About

A trial testing the efficacy of sit-stand workstations on decreasing sitting time and increasing light-intensity physical activity in samples of office worksites.

Full description

With traditional approaches to increasing MVPA (moderate to vigorous physical activity) in the workplace being unsustainable due to the requirement of deliberate and dedicated time away from work, this group-randomized trial will test the efficacy of sit-stand workstations on decreasing sitting time and increasing light-intensity physical activity (LPA) in a highly generalizable sample of office worksites using a multi-level intervention with high potential for dissemination.

Enrollment: 630 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
