Stand & Move at Work: A Group Randomized Trial

A trial testing the efficacy of sit-stand workstations on decreasing sitting time and
increasing light-intensity physical activity in samples of office worksites.

With traditional approaches to increasing MVPA (moderate to vigorous physical activity) in
the workplace being unsustainable due to the requirement of deliberate and dedicated time
away from work, this group-randomized trial will test the efficacy of sit-stand workstations
on decreasing sitting time and increasing light-intensity physical activity (LPA) in a
highly generalizable sample of office worksites using a multi-level intervention with high
potential for dissemination.

Inclusion Criteria:

Worksite-level inclusion criteria:

- Size: Small to moderate size worksite (20-60 employees)

- Schedule: >80% of employees full time

- Occupation: Seated office work, primarily computer- and- telephone-based work, little
movement or walking

- Wellness environment: Not currently undergoing a wellness program aimed at increasing
activity at work

- Workstations: Willing to have sit-stand workstations installed at a worksite

- Willing to be randomized: Willing to be randomized to either intervention conditions

Member-level inclusion criteria:

- Age: 18 years and older

- Health status: Generally good health and able to safely increase LPA and reduce
sitting time

- Employment status: Any sedentary job, sitting most of the say, little standing or
walking

- Occupation: Traditional sitting desk, willing to have a sit-stand workstation
installed at desk

- Workstation: traditional sitting desk;willing to have a sit-stand workstation
