Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the WorkACTIVE-P study is to assess the outcome of an innovative multi-component intervention focused on increasing energy expenditure and re-balancing the disrupted energy balance equation of sedentary workplaces with an ultimate target of reducing workers' abdominal obesity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The energy expenditure intervention includes replacing workplace sedentary time with access to a dedicated pedal desk and increasing steps/day with wearable monitors. Both components are incorporated into an electronically-delivered behavior monitoring and support infrastructure, thus enabling continuous management. The investigators will utilize pedaldesks manufactured and owned by Pennington Biomedical Research Center to conduct this study at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana offices in Baton Rouge, La. 40 individuals will be recruited and randomized to either a control arm or combined Walk More Pedal Desk (WMPD) intervention. Primary (MRI-determined visceral adipose tissue) and secondary (changes in body weight, total adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, blood pressure, blood lipids, fasting glucose and insulin, HbA1-c, free-living accelerometer-determined walking, time spent in sedentary behavior, exercise, and dietary intake) outcomes will be assessed at baseline and month 3.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

* Usual Working Condition Group (UWC)
* The no-intervention control condition will be asked to maintain their usual work and lifestyle throughout the study. Participants may be contacted by Pennington Biomedical staff during the intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Intervention Group

* Combined Intervention (Walk More and Pedal Desk; WMPD)
* Participants in the WMPD condition will engage in both step-counting (Walk More, WM) and pedal desk (PD) intervention components.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The content of both intervention components will be covered during a weekly scheduled group meeting (or face-to-face meetings, as needed). The step-counting component of the WMPD intervention will be modeled off the success of The First Step Program (FSP).
