Impact of a Standing Desk Converter Intervention on Habitual Posture, Cognition, and Cardiovascular Health
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Standing Promotion Intervention for Sedentary Time and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project will determine the short-term impact of a standing desk converter on: 1) objectively measured physical activity and posture levels, and 2) brain (cognition) and heart (blood pressure regulation) function. The main outcome is habitual activity patterns, assessed by the thigh-worn inclinometer (activPAL). All participants will be equipped with an activPAL and have their cardiovascular and cognitive function assessed at baseline and 4 weeks. Participants in the intervention group will use a standing desk converter for 4 weeks, while the wait-list control group will be encouraged to maintain their regular activity patterns. Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if using the standing desk converter will increase standing time and lower sedentary time, improve cognition, and improve blood pressure regulation.
