Maintenance effects of a multilevel workplace intervention to reduce sedentary time: twenty-four-month follow-up of the group randomized clinical trial 'Stand and Move at Work'.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The long-term impact of multilevel workplace sedentary behavior interventions has not been established beyond 12-months. We conducted a 2-arm group randomized trial examining the 24-month efficacy of a multilevel workplace intervention with sit-stand workstations (SSW) relative to the same multilevel intervention with delayed SSW implementation until 12-months.

Methods

Worksites (N = 24 worksites, N = 630 employees) were randomized to participate in Stand and Move at Work and received: (a) STAND + , a 12-month multilevel behavioral intervention targeting reductions in sedentary time and increases in light physical activity (LPA) with SSW delivery during the 12-months or (b) MOVE + , the same multilevel intervention, however with SSW delivery at the end of the 12-m
