Workplace Intervention to Reduce Sitting Time: a Randomized Clinical

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the effect of the computer prompt to break sitting time in office workers. The main question is: What is the effect of the computer prompt "Stand Up for Your Health®" plus education on sitting time, musculoskeletal symptoms, cardiometabolic markers, and physical activity in office workers compared with only education? In addition, to determine the level of adherence to the intervention program by identifying barriers and facilitators referred by the participants. The participants will be divided into two groups, the experimental and the control group. The participants in the experimental group will use the computer prompt on their desktop and receive information about sedentary behaviour, and the control group will receive only information. All participants will wear accelerometers for one week. The musculoskeletal symptoms and cardiometabolic markers will be measured at baseline, 3rd and 6th month.

Clinical Trial Description

Sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity are risk factors for noncommunicable diseases related to the work environment. The accumulation of sitting time during the workday is related to musculoskeletal symptoms and worse cardiometabolic indicators. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the "Stand up for your Health®" computer app on sitting time, musculoskeletal symptoms, cardiometabolic markers, and physical activity in office workers. Also, to determine the adherence to the intervention program by identifying barriers and facilitators referred by the participants. In this 2-arm randomized controlled trial, both groups will be recruited from educational establishments and will be measured at baseline, 3rd, and 6th months. The experimental group will be implementing the "Stand Up for Your Health®" computer app plus educational information, while the control group will only receive educational information. The same measurements will be completed in both groups during a 6 months follow-up period: sedentary behaviour using the Actigraph accelerometers and the Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire (OSPAQ); musculoskeletal symptoms will be assessed by a pressure pain algometer and the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire of Perception of musculoskeletal Symptoms; and cardiometabolic markers and anthropometric measurements will also be assessed according to protocol. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
