“…All included studies showed a beneficial direction of effect on at least one sedentary behavior outcome (i.e., number of breaks, sitting time, posture change, standing time) compared with control condition (further detail in Supplementary File 2). Six studies showed changes in number of breaks (Coffeng et al, 2014;De Cocker et al, 2016;Mantzari et al, 2019;Carter et al, 2020;Rollo and Prapavessis, 2020;Patel et al, 2021). All studies showed changes in sitting time (Chau et al, 2014;Coffeng et al, 2014;Dutta et al, 2014;Neuhaus et al, 2014;Graves et al, 2015;Puig-Ribera et al, 2015;De Cocker et al, 2016;Healy et al, 2016;Tobin et al, 2016;Danquah et al, 2017;Li et al, 2017;Dunning et al, 2018;Edwardson et al, 2018;Maylor et al, 2018;Blake et al, 2019;Mantzari et al, 2019;Pierce et al, 2019;Carter et al, 2020;Lithopoulos et al, 2020;Rollo and Prapavessis, 2020;Weatherson et al, 2020;Patel et al, 2021).…”

“…In terms of sedentary behavior outcomes, seven studies used only a self-report outcome measure, for example, questionnaire (Coffeng et al, 2014;Graves et al, 2015;Puig-Ribera et al, 2015;Blake et al, 2019;Lithopoulos et al, 2020;Rollo and Prapavessis, 2020;Patel et al, 2021), four used a device-based measure, for example, an ActivPAL (Neuhaus et al, 2014;Tobin et al, 2016;Carter et al, 2020;Weatherson et al, 2020), and 11 used a combination of self-report and device-based measure (Chau et al, 2014;Dutta et al, 2014;De Cocker et al, 2016;Healy et al, 2016;Danquah et al, 2017;Li et al, 2017;Dunning et al, 2018;Edwardson et al, 2018;Maylor et al, 2018;Mantzari et al, 2019;Pierce et al, 2019).…”

“…Education was defined as increasing knowledge or understanding (Michie et al, 2014), and 15 of the 22 included studies used education as part of the intervention strategy (Neuhaus et al, 2014;Puig-Ribera et al, 2015;De Cocker et al, 2016;Healy et al, 2016;Danquah et al, 2017;Edwardson et al, 2018;Maylor et al, 2018;Blake et al, 2019;Mantzari et al, 2019;Carter et al, 2020;Lithopoulos et al, 2020;Rollo and Prapavessis, 2020;Weatherson et al, 2020;Patel et al, 2021).

BackgroundWorking patterns have changed dramatically due to COVID-19, with many workers now spending at least a portion of their working week at home. The office environment was already associated with high levels of sedentary behavior, and there is emerging evidence that working at home further elevates these levels. The aim of this rapid review (PROSPERO CRD42021278539) was to build on existing evidence to identify what works to reduce sedentary behavior in an office environment, and consider whether these could be transferable to support those working at home.MethodsThe results of a systematic search of databases CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, CINHAL, and SportDiscus from 10 August 2017 to 6 September 2021 were added to the references included in a 2018 Cochrane review of office based sedentary interventions. These references were screened and controlled peer-reviewed English language studies demonstrating a beneficial direction of effect for office-based interventions on sedentary behavior outcomes in healthy adults were included. For each study, two of five authors screened the title and abstract, the full-texts, undertook data extraction, and assessed risk of bias on the included studies. Informed by the Behavior Change Wheel, the most commonly used intervention functions and behavior change techniques were identified from the extracted data. Finally, a sample of common intervention strategies were evaluated by the researchers and stakeholders for potential transferability to the working at home environment.ResultsTwenty-two studies including 29 interventions showing a beneficial direction of effect on sedentary outcomes were included. The most commonly used intervention functions were training (n = 21), environmental restructuring (n = 21), education (n = 15), and enablement (n = 15). Within these the commonly used behavior change techniques were instructions on how to perform the behavior (n = 21), adding objects to the environment (n = 20), and restructuring the physical environment (n = 19). Those strategies with the most promise for transferring to the home environment included education materials, use of role models, incentives, and prompts.ConclusionsThis review has characterized interventions that show a beneficial direction of effect to reduce office sedentary behavior, and identified promising strategies to support workers in the home environment as the world adapts to a new working landscape.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42021278539, identifier CRD42021278539.

The Effects of UPcomplish on Office Workers’ Sedentary Behaviour, Quality of Life and Psychosocial Determinants: A Stepped-Wedge Design

Background Sedentary behaviour (SB) affects cardiometabolic health and quality of life (QoL). We examine the effects of UPcomplish, a 12-week data-driven intervention, on SB, QoL and psychosocial determinants among office workers. Methods Participants were recruited via judgement sampling. Five groups starting with time-lags of 7 weeks (n = 142, 96 females) received 14 feedback messages (FBMs) which were tailored to SB patterns, goals and hurdles. Participants received questionnaires at the beginning, middle and end of the intervention and wore an accelerometer measuring SB, operationalized as proportions (compositional data approach, CoDA) and summed squared sitting bouts (SSSB). We used linear mixed-effects models with random intercepts for weeks (between-subjects) and individuals (within-subjects). Results UPcomplish did not reduce SB. Within-subjects compared to baseline, FBM #3 (βCoDA = 0.24, p < .001, 95% CI [0.15, 0.33]; βSSSB = 20.83, p < .001, 95% CI [13.90, 27.28]) and #4 (βCoDA = 0.20, p < .001, 95% CI [0.11, 0.29]; βSSSB = 24.80, p < .001, 95% CI [15.84, 33.76]) increased SB. QoL was unaffected. Perceived susceptibility was lower after FBMs #6 to #8 (βbetween = − 0.66, p = .04, 95% CI [− 1.03, − 0.30]; βwithin = − 0.75, p = .02, 95% CI [− 1.18, − 0.32]). Within-subjects, intentions to sit less were higher after FBMs #1 to #5 (1.14, p = .02, 95% CI [0.61, 1.66]). Improvements in determinants and in SB were not associated, nor were improvements in SB and in QoL. Conclusions Compared to VitaBit only, UPcomplish was not beneficial. Environmental restructuring might be superior, but detailed analyses of moderators of effectiveness are needed.

Background Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an important indicator of current and future health. While the impact of habitual physical activity on CRF is well established, the role of sedentary behaviour (SB) remains less understood. Objective We aimed to determine the effect of SB on CRF. Methods Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus from inception to August 2022. Randomised controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies and cohort studies that assessed the relationship between SB and CRF were eligible. Narrative syntheses and meta-analyses summarised the evidence, and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) certainty was based on evidence from randomised controlled trials. Results This review included 18 studies that focused on youth (four randomised controlled trials, three quasi-experimental studies, 11 cohort studies) and 24 on adult populations (15 randomised controlled trials, five quasi-experimental studies, four cohort studies). In youth and adults, evidence from randomised controlled trials suggests mixed effects of SB on CRF, but with the potential for interventions to improve CRF. Quasi-experimental and cohort studies also support similar conclusions. Certainty of evidence was very low for both age groups. A meta-analysis of adult randomised controlled trials found that interventions targeting reducing SB, or increasing physical activity and reducing SB, had a significant effect on post-peak oxygen consumption (mean difference = 3.16 mL.kg–1.min–1, 95% confidence interval: 1.76, 4.57). Conclusions Evidence from randomised controlled trials indicates mixed associations between SB and CRF, with the potential for SB to influence CRF, as supported by meta-analytical findings. Further well-designed trials are warranted to confirm the relationship between SB and CRF, explore the effects of SB independent from higher intensity activity, and investigate the existence of such relationships in paediatric populations.
