“…Strategies that aim at breaking this sedentary time must also be conducted. Recent data have shown that among office workers, who spend at least 7 h per day seated at their desk mostly in front of a screen, health indicators such as waist circumference, body mass index, or fat mass are not improved among active employees compared to inactive ones, suggesting the potential negative impact of sedentary time over physical activity levels ( 29 ). These results are of particular importance and are associated with recommendations formulated by Rosenberg et al calling for interventions targeting high-risk populations, such as tertiary employees ( 30 ).…”

Based on the increasing evidence linking excessive sedentary behaviors and adverse health outcomes, public health strategies have been developed and constantly improved to reduce sedentary behaviors and increase physical activity levels at all ages. Although the body of literature in this field has grown, confusion still exists regarding the correct definition for sedentary behaviors. Thus, there is a need to provide a clear definition in order to distinguish sedentary behaviors from physical activity and inactivity. This paper will briefly review the most recent and accepted definitions of these concepts and illustrate their relationships. Nowadays, since most working adults spend a high proportion of their waking hours in increasingly sedentary tasks, there will be a particular focus on the field of occupational health. Finally, simple modifications in the workplace will be suggested in order to decrease sedentary behaviors.

“…7 Strategies have been implemented in tertiary companies, such as onsite PA programs, to improve workers' health. 8 Although those programs specifically engaged people meeting the PA recommendations, it has been shown that being physically active could be insufficient to prevent the deleterious effects of SB, 3 raising the need for interventions to also decrease sedentary time (ST) during working days. Recently, active workstations have been promoted as potential strategies to reduce ST, while increasing PA with associated positive health effects.…”

“…Our team has previously described an important dropout rate during worksite programs that proposed on-site PA during non-working hours among office workers [ 108 ]. By contrast, this study is an interventional study, and subjects will be monitored and motivated individually every day by receiving reminders (if time spent cycling < 60 min/day) and an on-site personal visit each week.…”

“…A lack of adherence to programs aiming at increasing PA in tertiary employees has been reported multiple times [ 107 , 108 ]. Genin et al postulated that interventions targeting PA and SB in tertiary employees should not only consider the operational feasibility but also the coherence and compatibility with the working environment, structuration, functioning as well as the workers and the way they live and experience their work [ 24 ].…”

Background Sedentary behaviour (SB) and low levels of physical activity (PA) are predictors of morbidity and mortality. Tertiary employees spend a considerable amount of their daily time seated and new efficient strategies to both reduce sedentary time and increase physical activity are needed. In that context, the REMOVE study aims at evaluating the health effects of a 24-week cycling desk intervention among office workers. Methods A prospective, open-label, multicentre, two-arm parallel, randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted in office-sitting desk workers. Office workers (N = 80) who have 0.8 full time equivalent hours (FTE) and 75% of this time in a sitting position will be recruited from tertiary worksites in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two following interventions: (i) PPM6: performance of two 30 min of cycling desk (using portable pedal exercise machine—PPM) per working day for 6 months or (ii) CTL_PPM3: 3 months with no intervention (control) followed by 3 months during which workers will be asked to complete two 30 min of PPM per working day. At baseline (T0), at 3 months (T1) and at 6 months (T2) after the start of the interventions, primary outcomes; 7-day PA and SB (3D-accelerometers), secondary outcomes; body composition (bioelectrical impedance), physical fitness (aerobic fitness, upper and lower limb strength), metabolic outcomes (fasting blood samples), self-perceived stress, anxiety, quality of life at work and job strain (questionnaires), tertiary outcomes; resting metabolic rate and cycling energy expenditure (indirect calorimetry) and eating behaviours (questionnaires) will be measured. An ergonomic approach based on observations and individual interviews will be used to identify parameters that could determine adherence. Discussion The REMOVE study will be the first RCT to assess the effects of cycling workstations on objectively measured PA and SB during working and non-working hours and on key physiological and psychological health outcomes. This study will provide important information regarding the implementation of such cycling workstations in office workers and on the associated potential health benefits.

Health and Fitness Benefits But Low Adherence Rate

Abstract: Although a structured on-site physical activity program supports improved health indicators, adherence remains a concern and requires specialists to develop new strategies.
