Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and effects of a simple-to-implement multicomponent intervention to reduce sedentary time of office workers.

Methods: Six groups of eight to ten office workers took part in the two-week Leicht Bewegt intervention. Participants completed questionnaires at baseline (T0, n = 52), after 2 weeks (T1, n = 46), and after 5 weeks (T2, n = 38), including subjective sedentary measures and social-cognitive variables based on the health action process approach (HAPA). Objective sedentary measures were obtained using activPAL trackers.

Results: The intention to reduce sedentary behavior during work increased significantly from T0 to T1. Participants' objective and subjective sitting time decreased significantly from T0 to T1, corresponding to an average decrease per 8-h-workday of 55 min (d = - .66) or 74 min (d = - 1.14), respectively. This reduction persisted (for subjective sitting time) at T2 (d = - 1.08). Participants indicated a high satisfaction with the intervention.

Conclusions: The Leicht Bewegt intervention offers a feasible and effective opportunity to reduce sedentary behavior at work. Randomized controlled trials including longer follow-up time periods are needed to validate its benefits in different workplaces.

减少久坐工作需要什么：一项关于多成分干预的有效性和相关性的试点研究。

目的：本研究旨在评估一种简单易行的多组分干预措施的可行性和效果，以减少上班族的久坐时间。方法：六组八至十名上班族参加为期两周的Leicht-Bewegt干预。参与者在基线（T0，n = 52），2周后（T1，n = 46），并且在5周后（T2，n = 38），包括基于健康行动过程方法（HAPA）的主观久坐测量和社会认知变量。使用activPAL跟踪器获得了客观的久坐测量。结果：从T0到T1，减少工作中久坐行为的意愿显著增加。参与者的客观和主观坐着时间从T0到T1显著减少，对应于每8小时工作日平均减少55分钟（d = -.66）或74分钟（d = -1.14）。这种减少在T2（d）持续存在（对于主观坐着时间） = -1.08）。参与者对干预表示高度满意。结论：Leicht-Bewegt干预为减少工作中的久坐行为提供了一个可行而有效的机会。需要进行随机对照试验，包括更长的随访时间，以验证其在不同工作场所的益处。

期刊介绍： International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health publishes Editorials, Review Articles, Original Articles, and Letters to the Editor. It welcomes any manuscripts dealing with occupational or ambient environmental problems, with a special interest in research at the interface of occupational health and clinical medicine. The scope ranges from Biological Monitoring to Dermatology, from Fibers and Dust to Human Toxicology, from Nanomaterials and Ultra-fine Dust to Night- and Shift Work, from Psycho-mental Distress and Burnout to Vibrations. A complete list of topics can be found on the right-hand side under For authors and editors. In addition, all papers should be based on present-day standards and relate to: -Clinical and epidemiological studies on morbidity and mortality -Clinical epidemiological studies on the parameters relevant to the estimation of health risks -Human experimental studies on environmental health effects. Animal experiments are only acceptable if relevant to pathogenic aspects. -Methods for studying the topics mentioned above.
