Summary

Workplace interventions effectively reduce sitting time for office workers, with multi-component strategies and sit-stand workstations showing promise. However, long-term sustainability and intervention effects require further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Sedentary behaviour is an independent health risk, particularly concerning for office workers with prolonged sitting hours.
  • Workplace interventions are crucial for mitigating health risks associated with sedentary behaviour.
  • This review systematically evaluates interventions aimed at reducing sitting time among office workers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the effectiveness of workplace interventions in reducing sitting time for office workers.
  • To identify variables that moderate the effects of these interventions.
  • To synthesize evidence on strategies for reducing sedentary behaviour during work hours.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus (April-May 2016).
  • Seventeen studies assessing sedentary time in office workplaces were included.
  • Best-evidence synthesis was applied, with evaluation of moderators like intervention strategies.

Main Results:

  • Multi-component interventions and sit-stand workstations emerged as highly promising for reducing sedentary behaviour.
  • Interventions utilizing "environmental restructuring," "adding objects," and "behavioral instructions" showed higher positive effects.
  • Interventions focusing solely on sedentary behaviour and those using objective measurements yielded more positive outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Numerous promising interventions exist to decrease workplace sitting time.
  • Evidence regarding the long-term sustainability of these intervention effects is currently insufficient.
  • Future research should employ theoretical planning and both subjective and objective measures for robust evaluation.
