Abstract
- Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of a workplace intervention supporting employees to interrupt sitting time with short bouts of activity (termed an opportunity to move [OTM]). Methods: Using an interrupted time series design, 58 sedentary employees provided baseline assessments of physical activity, health, and work-related outcomes and completed the 12-week intervention. Assessments were repeated immediately and 12 weeks after intervention. Focus groups explored intervention acceptability. Results: Accelerometer data showed no change in the number of OTMs taken before to after intervention, while participants self-reported 62-69% intervention adherence. Physical activity at work, productivity, and musculoskeletal health improved but cardiometabolic health and psychological well-being did not. Intervention components were viewed favorably (pending amendments), but taking an OTM every 30 minutes was not feasible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
