L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer les effets d’une intervention sur une machine à pédale portable (60 minutes par jour de travail) pendant 12 semaines sur les facteurs de risque cardiométabolique d’employés sains du secteur tertiaire.
Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a portable pedal machine intervention (60 minutes per working day) for 12 weeks on healthy tertiary employees’ cardiometabolic risk factors. Methods Anthropometric parameters, body composition, cardiometabolic/inflammatory markers, physical fitness, physical activity, and sedentary time measured before and after the intervention were compared between office healthy workers who used a portable pedal machine (INT, n = 17) and those who did not (CTRL, n = 15). Results The INT group improved Δultrasensitive C-reactive protein (P = 0.008), Δtotal cholesterol (P = 0.028), and Δlight-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P = 0.048) compared with the CTRL group (Δ: T1–T0). The intervention reduced daily sitting time (P ≤ 0.01) and increased time spent at light intensity (P ≤ 0.01) and moderate-to-vigorous (P ≤ 0.01) physical activity compared with baseline values. Conclusions These findings suggest that promoting physical activity during workdays can reduce the negative health effects of spending too much time sitting and inactive.
