Office workers' sitting time reduced by standing desks and other measures by an hour a day say researchers. Small improvements also seen in workers' stress, well-being, and energy levels at work.a team of researchers based in the UK, along with collaborators in Australia, set out to evaluate the impact of SMART Work & Life with and without a standing desk on physical behaviours and physical, biochemical, psychological, and work-related health and performance outcomes.
The primary outcome measure was daily sitting time, measured using an accelerometer worn on the thigh at the start of the study and again at 12 months.
The magnitude of behaviour change was similar across the 3- and 12-month follow-up, indicating that "behaviour change was maintained during the course of the study", said the authors. In addition, the SWAL plus desk intervention appeared more effective during work hours for those aged 46 years and older.
