Activity Snippets for Sustainable Promotion of Physical Activity in Everyday Working Life - a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating physical activity recommendations and activitysnippets for Physical Inactivity. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The ActivitySnippets study will investigate the effects of short activity snippets on the sedentary behavior of bus and tram drivers. The main research question is: Do activity snippets increase the amount of time bus and tram drivers spend in a physically active state and reduce the amount of sedentary time during working hours? This research question will be investigated with a randomized controlled trial.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The participants (bus and tram drivers) in the control group will receive the latest World Health Organization recommendations for physical activity in written form.
Participants (bus and tram drivers) in the intervention group will receive the ActivitySnippets toolbox. The toolbox was developed through collaborative workshops with the target group, sports scientists and physiotherapists to create a sustainable, occupation-specific and evidence-based physical activity promotion. The toolbox, which provides simple incentives to integrate physical activity into everyday working life, consists of 30 to 40 activity snippets (exercise cards). The design of the toolbox allows for individualization and variation of the exercise cards. The aim of the exercises is to improve muscle strength, increase physical activity levels at work and reduce stress. All exercises can be performed for between 10 and 60 seconds, allowing for realistic implementation in everyday working life. Participants are encouraged to incorporate the exercises into their daily work routine as often as possible.
