Stand & Move at Work

With traditional approaches to increasing MVPA (moderate to vigorous physical activity) in
the workplace being unsustainable due to the requirement of deliberate and dedicated time
away from work, this group-randomized trial will test the efficacy of sit-stand workstations
on decreasing sitting time and increasing light-intensity physical activity (LPA) in a
highly generalizable sample of office worksites using a multi-level intervention with high
potential for dissemination.
