Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this project is to determine the effects of decreasing sedentary behavior at work by at least 3hrs/day using treadmill (walking and standing) and sit-to-stand (standing only) workstations on the health of overweight office workers.

Treadmill workstation

Participants will be provided with a treadmill workstation to be more active at the workplace Active Workplace

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Active workplace

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This is a 12-month, cluster-randomized trial with an intent-to-treat design to determine the effects of using treadmill and sit-to-stand workstations at the workplace on health variables in overweight office workers (N=66) with seated desk jobs and (2) to compare the efficacies of treadmill and sit-to-stand workstations in decreasing workplace sedentary behavior. The intervention will examine the effects of using these workstations on weight, cardiovascular and metabolic health variables , musculoskeletal discomfort, psychological affect and job stress. The study will also measure change in time spent sitting, standing and walking will be measured using wearable non-invasive acceleration sensors.
