Reduction of Sitting Time - a Randomized Controlled Intervention Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Life style intervention for Life Style and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 171 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Recent studies have suggested that prolonged daily sitting time may in itself have a negative effect on health, even in people who engage in daily physical activity. The aim of the present study is to explore whether individually tailored lifestyle counselling aimed at reducing TV-viewing and other sedentary activities during leisure time and at work, can reduce sitting time and waist circumference, weight and blood pressure; and improve serum lipid levels. From a population-based health survey, 150 adult men and women with more than 3.5 hours of daily leisure time sitting time are recruited and randomly assigned to 1) an intervention group or 2) a control group. The intervention group will participate in 4 individually tailored lifestyle intervention sessions focussing on reduction of daily sitting time. The control group will receive no intervention.
