Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Hypothesis: The addition of a seated active workstation will result in significant reductions in daily occupational sedentary time compared to the active control group.
Secondary Aims: To compare the effects of the experimental group against the active control group on secondary measures of cardiometabolic disease risk factors, musculoskeletal discomfort, cognitive function and work productivity.
Hypothesis 1: The experimental group will result in reduced cardiometabolic disease risk, musculoskeletal discomfort and work limitations compared to the active control group.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental Group
This group will receive the seated active workstation intervention, the ergonomic intervention and the email intervention for 16 weeks.
Active Workstation Intervention
Participants in the experimental group will receive a seated active workstation at their work setting for 16 weeks.
Ergonomic Intervention
Participants of both arms will receive a face to face ergonomic workstation optimization intervention. This consultation will take 30 minutes to complete and will be performed at the participant's actual work station.
Email Intervention
Participants of both arms will receive three emails per week for 16 weeks. Messages will be consistent with what they hear in the ergonomic intervention (e.g., encourage taking breaks from sitting at work and adjusting posture to be in line with ergonomic principles).
Bluetooth enabled device (Wahoo Fitness Blue SC sensor) and accompanying iPod application.
Active Control
This group will receive the ergonomic intervention and email intervention only for 16 weeks. This group will not receive a seated active workstation.
Ergonomic Intervention

Email Intervention
Participants of both arms will receive three emails per week for 16 weeks. Messages will be consistent with what they hear in the ergonomic intervention (e.g., encourage taking breaks from sitting at work and adjusting posture to be in line with ergonomic principles).
