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.

Conclusions: The Move More @ Work intervention has potential, but adaptations are required to increase adherence.

旨在鼓励员工每坐30分钟后进行2分钟的身体活动的“工作时多运动”干预的可行性和试点结果。

目的：本研究的目的是评估工作场所干预的可行性，该干预支持员工通过短时间的活动（称为移动机会[OTM]）来中断久坐时间，以及与工作相关的结果，并完成了为期12周的干预。干预后立即和12周重复评估。焦点小组探讨了干预措施的可接受性。结果：加速计数据显示，干预前后服用的OTM数量没有变化，而参与者自我报告干预依从性为62-69%。工作中的体育活动、生产力和肌肉骨骼健康状况有所改善，但心脏代谢健康和心理健康状况没有改善。干预成分被看好（待修订），但每30分钟服用一次OTM是不可行的。结论：“工作中多行动”干预措施有潜力，但需要进行调整以提高依从性。
