Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Sedentary office work contributes to health problems.
  • Workplace interventions are needed to reduce sedentary behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess participant recruitment and adherence in a randomized controlled treadmill desk intervention.
  • To identify challenges and lessons learned from implementing treadmill desks in a real-world office setting.

Main Methods:

  • A 6-month randomized controlled trial involving treadmill desks in an office.
  • Recruitment from 728 employees, with 41 eligible overweight/obese participants enrolled.
  • Assessed adherence through attendance records and qualitative feedback via focus groups.

Main Results:

  • Low initial recruitment response despite administrative support.
  • Average adherence of 45%-50% due to work conflicts, being out of office, and illness.
  • Participants averaged ~43 minutes of daily light-intensity treadmill walking.

Conclusions:

  • Treadmill desks show potential for reducing sedentary behavior but face significant implementation challenges.
  • Integrating scheduled physical activity into rigid work schedules requires careful planning.
  • Employers face administrative, capital, and human resource hurdles in providing treadmill desks cost-effectively.
