“…The participants included in this study were enrolled in the RESET BP randomized-controlled trial (NCT03307343) between December 2017 and August 2022 (20). The sample size for RESET BP was determined to have sufficient statistical power to address the aims of the clinical trial.…”

“…To address these gaps, we used baseline data from desk workers enrolled in the Reducing Sedentary Behavior to Decrease Blood Pressure (RESET BP) randomized trial (20). In contrast to cluster-randomized workplace intervention trials that enroll a group of participants at a limited number of worksites, the individual recruitment strategy in RESET BP provided more opportunity to enroll participants with unique workspaces.…”

Introduction/Purpose: Sedentary behavior (SB) is common in desk-based work, and prolonged periods of SB are associated with negative health outcomes. This study assessed associations between workplace characteristics and setting and movement patterns during working hours. Methods: This secondary analysis used baseline data from the Reducing Sedentary Behavior to Decrease Blood Pressure clinical trial, which enrolled inactive, desk-based workers with elevated blood pressure (n = 271; mean age, 45.3 ± 11.6 yr; body mass index, 30.66 ± 7.1 kg•m −2 ; 59.4% women). Physical and social workplace characteristics were assessed by a study-developed questionnaire and the Office Environment and Sitting Scale. Participants also wore an activPAL activity monitor for 7 d and reported working hours in a diary to measure SB and physical activity (PA) specifically while working. Linear regression was used to analyze cross-sectional associations between workplace characteristics and SB and PA. A stratified analysis was also conducted to assess associations among home-based and in-office desk workers separately. Analyses were adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, and work wear time. Results: Participants spent 77% of working hours in SB. Public versus private offices, working in-office versus at home, higher local connectivity, and greater overall connectedness were associated with lower SB and/or greater PA (all P < 0.05). Higher frequency of face-to-face interactions, and greater visibility and proximity to coworkers were associated with less SB and more PA (all P < 0.05). For example, home-based workers had more total SB (+17.2 ± 8.4 min per day), more SB bouts ≥30 min (+39.1 ± 12.8 min per day), and less steps (695 ± 201 steps per day) than in-office employees. Stratification by office setting revealed differences in associations between SB and PA and workplace characteristics. Conclusions:More public, open spaces with more social interactions and physical walkways could improve SB and PA patterns during work. Home-based workers had more SB, less PA, and unique associations of these activities with workplace characteristics, suggesting a need for tailored interventions.

“…As such, employers have an opportunity to create supportive environments to encourage workers to reduce SB. Consequently, researchers should prioritize the study of the effectiveness of reducing SB' interventions at the organizational level (22,23). Indeed, o ce-based workers are highly sedentary due to the job demands (e.g., meetings, working with a computer), making them a key target group for intervention (24).…”

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) has been linked to several negative health outcomes. Therefore, reducing SB or breaking-up prolonged periods of SB improves functional fitness, food consumption, job satisfaction and productivity. Reducing SB can be achieved by introducing a health-enhancing contextual modification promoted by a sit-stand desk in the workplace. The primary goal will be to test the effectiveness of this intervention in reducing and breaking-up SB, while improving health outcomes in office-based workers during a 6-month intervention. Methods: A two-arm (1:1), superiority parallel-group cluster RCT will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention in a sample of office-based workers from a university in Portugal. The intervention will consist of a psychoeducation session, motivational prompts, and contextual modification promoted by a sit-stand desk in the workplace for 6 months. The control group will work as usual in their workplace, with no contextual change or prompts during the 6-month intervention. Three assessment points will be conducted in both groups, pre-intervention (baseline), post-intervention, and a 3-month follow-up. The primary outcomes include sedentary and physical activity-related variables, which will be objectively assessed with 24h monitoring using the ActivPAL for 7 days. The secondary outcomes include a) biometric indices as body composition, body mass index, waist circumference and postural inequalities; and b) psychosocial variables such as overall and work-related fatigue, overall discomfort, life/work satisfaction, quality of life, and eating behavior. Both the primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed at each assessment point. Discussion: This study will lean on the use of a sit-stand workstation for 6 months, prompted by an initial psychoeducational session and ongoing motivational prompts. We will aim to contribute to this topic by providing robust data on alternating sitting and standing postures in the workplace.

“…Thus, SB reduction is a promising strategy to improve cardiovascular health. 8,9 Desk workers are predisposed to high SB due to the nature of their occupation and, therefore, may be vulnerable to developing CVD. Indeed, desk workers have distinctive SB patterns such that they engage in more SB compared with other workers, 10 spend more time in total and prolonged bouts of occupational SB compared with nonoccupational SB on workdays, 11 and accumulate more total SB on workdays versus nonworkdays.…”

“…20 The Reducing Sedentary Behavior on Blood Pressure (RESET BP) Study is a randomized clinical trial among desk workers that tests the effects of a 3-month SB-reduction intervention on BP and other cardiovascular measures including pulse wave velocity (PWV) and heart rate variability (HRV). 8 Using the baseline data from RESET BP, we had the opportunity to address the previously described gaps in the current literature. Specifically, the objectives of this study were to (1) describe and compare patterns of SB across the occupational and nonoccupational domains in a sample of desk workers and (2) examine associations of total, occupational, and nonoccupational SB with BP, PWV, and HRV.…”

Objectives We assessed sedentary behavior (SB) patterns and examined its associations, by domain, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk measures in desk workers (N = 273). Methods Sedentary behavior was measured by activPAL3 and partitioned into occupational and nonoccupational SB. Cardiovascular disease risk measures included blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, heart rate, and heart rate variability. Paired t tests evaluated patterns of SB across domains. Linear regressions estimated associations of occupational and nonoccupational SB with CVD risk measures. Results Participants spent 69% of their time in SB; higher proportions were accumulated during occupational versus nonoccupational time. Higher all-domain SB was only associated with higher pulse wave velocity. Paradoxically, greater nonoccupational SB unfavorably associated with CVD risk measures, while higher occupational SB favorably correlated to CVD risk measures. Conclusions Observed paradoxical associations suggest that domain should be considered in efforts to improve cardiovascular health by reducing SB.
