We therefore investigated whether treadmill workstations in offices increased daily walking time.Methods We did a randomised controlled trial of healthy office workers who were either overweight or obese. We recruited participants from 13 different companies, which comprised 17 offices, in Umeå, Sweden. We included p… Show more

“…The characteristics of the studies are summarised in Table 1. Nine studies were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], and two were cluster RCTs -one involving only two worksites [30] and the other several university units [31]. There were also two non-randomised studies [32,33] three pre-and post-evaluations with no comparison group [34][35][36].…”
