Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Ergonomics

Background:

  • Desk-based office work leads to prolonged sitting, a recognized health risk.
  • Existing multi-component interventions are resource-intensive with limited impact data.
  • Addressing excessive workplace sitting requires effective and scalable strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare a multi-component intervention with a workstations-only intervention and usual practice for reducing workplace sitting time.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of different approaches to mitigate risks associated with prolonged sitting.
  • To provide evidence for effective workplace health promotion strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A three-arm quasi-randomized controlled trial was conducted at the University of Queensland.
  • Participants included desk-based office workers aged 20-65.
  • Workplace sitting time was objectively measured using activPAL3 devices over 7 days at baseline and 3 months.

Main Results:

  • The multi-component intervention group reduced sitting time by 89 minutes/8-hour workday compared to the control group (p<0.001).
  • The workstations-only group showed a non-significant reduction of 33 minutes/8-hour workday (p=0.285).
  • Baseline sitting time was approximately 77% of the workday across all groups.

Conclusions:

  • A multi-component intervention effectively reduced workplace sitting time.
  • The findings suggest practical and financial benefits for organizations aiming to decrease sedentary behavior.
  • Further research can explore long-term impacts and cost-effectiveness of such interventions.
