L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer la faisabilité de l’utilisation de bureaux debout mobiles pour lutter contre les comportements sédentaires liés au travail chez les adultes occupant des postes flexibles.
Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using mobile standing desks to address work-related sedentary behavior for adults working in flexible positions. Methods University employees (N = 20) in flexible positions used a mobile standing desk for 8 weeks and completed one focus group. Paired t tests were used to determine differences in workplace behavior. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Work-related sitting decreased (P = 0.010, −45.88 minutes) and standing increased (P = 0.016, +41.28 minutes). Advantages included mobility, enhanced attention to tasks, and ease of use. Disadvantages included the device’s design, built environment barriers, and impact of work/life circumstances. Conclusions The mobile standing desk resulted in a decrease in sitting consistent with traditional standing desk-based interventions. Future interventions should consider including goal setting, reminders, feedback, and incentives.
