Feasibility and Pilot Outcomes of the Move More Work Intervention Designed to Encourage Employees to be Physically Active for 2 Minutes After Every 30 Minutes of Sitting

Copyright © 2023 American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine..

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of a workplace intervention supporting employees to interrupt sitting time with short bouts of activity (termed an opportunity to move [OTM]).

METHODS: Using an interrupted time series design, 58 sedentary employees provided baseline assessments of physical activity, health, and work-related outcomes and completed the 12-week intervention. Assessments were repeated immediately and 12 weeks after intervention. Focus groups explored intervention acceptability.

RESULTS: Accelerometer data showed no change in the number of OTMs taken before to after intervention, while participants self-reported 62-69% intervention adherence. Physical activity at work, productivity, and musculoskeletal health improved but cardiometabolic health and psychological well-being did not. Intervention components were viewed favorably (pending amendments), but taking an OTM every 30 minutes was not feasible.

CONCLUSIONS: The Move More Work intervention has potential, but adaptations are required to increase adherence.
