Stand Up Kansas: An Intervention to Reduce Sedentary Behavior in the Home Work Environment

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sedentary Behavior, Behavior, Health, Cholesterolemia, Obesity, Stress, Hypertension, Fatigue, Glucose, High Blood, Mood

In brief

This project will examine the effectiveness of an intervention to reduce sedentary behavior in Kansas State University employees who are primarily working from home. We will recruit 100 employees to participate. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four conditions: desk only, program only, desk + program, or waitlist control. The program will consist of strategies to reduce sitting and increase physical activity in the home environment. We will assess whether the intervention successfully elicits reductions in sitting among employees, as well as changes in cardiometabolic and work-related outcomes.
