The effect of an e-health intervention designed to reduce prolonged occupational sitting on mean arterial pressure.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of a workplace health intervention designed to reduce prolonged occupational sitting on the mean arterial pressure (MAP) of desk-based employees.

METHODS: This randomized controlled trial involved an experimental group who received an e-health intervention and a control group who did not. The 13-week intervention passively prompted participants to stand and engage in short bouts of office-based physical activity by interrupting prolonged occupational sitting time periodically throughout the workday. Mean arterial pressure was measured at pretest and posttest.

RESULTS: Between pretest and posttest the experimental group significantly reduced their MAP, whereas MAP in the control group did not.

CONCLUSIONS: A workplace e-health intervention designed to reduce prolonged occupational sitting was effective in decreasing MAP in desk-based employees.
