Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of the DeskCycle in reducing sedentary behavior among female office workers at an educational institution.MethodsThis was a randomized control trial with a crossover design (N = 80). The intervention was conducted in two 8-week phases and included the DeskCycle and an informational handout with benefits and suggestions about the frequency of use. The primary outcome was weekly average nonsedentary time. Secondary outcomes included weight and mood.ResultsDeskCycle users reported significantly higher weekly average nonsedentary time compared with nonusers (phase I: 402.3 ± 72.4 vs 169.3 ± 17.5,P< 0.00; phase II: 282 ± 45 vs 216 ± 23,P= 0.00). There were no significant differences in weight or mood.ConclusionsThe DeskCycle is effective in reducing sedentary behavior, suggesting workers in sedentary office occupations could integrate it into their workday, where possible, to prevent negative health outcomes.
