This study assesses the short and mid-term impacts of a workplace web-based intervention (Walk@WorkSpain, W@WS) on self-reported occupational sitting time, step counts, activity-related energy expenditure, physical risk factors for chronic disease and efficiency-related outcomes in Spanish office employees. Half of participants had access to the W@WS website program while the other half was asked to maintain habitual behaviour.
Rising numbers of people have to sit for long hours every day especially for work and transport (3401184). This sedentary pattern that has been detrimentally associated with obesity and cardiovascular disease markers (4604082). However, replacing as little as 10 minutes of sedentary time with the same amount of light or moderate physical activity is associated with substantial health benefits (i.e. reduction of the metabolic syndrome) (26635358).
Because eighty percent of adults in developed countries spend one third of their working day doing sedentary, desk-based tasks (24603203) -representing a high exposure to this established health risk- displacing occupational sitting with physical activity may be a feasible option for improving office employees´ health and therefore public health (26984326).
In this context, there is a need to develop and evaluate translational research, based on theoretically-derived strategies, that can be successfully embedded into workplaces (26984326).

| A workplace "sit less and move more" web-based program for Spanish office employees | Behavioral | W@WS encourages office employees to progressively 'sit less and move more' during workdays over 19 weeks. During the first 8 weeks (ramping phase), tips are provided every two weeks to break occupational sitting time through incidental movement during work tasks, introduce short walks (5-10 minutes) during morning/afternoon work breaks and/or commuting time, introduce longer walks at lunchtime and achieve at least 10,000 daily steps as well as increase walking intensity. During weeks 9 to 19, W@WS provides automated guidance with periodic emails encouraging behaviors achieved in the previous phase. Ecological support strategies such as logging daily step counts into a personal account and receiving visual feedback on the achievement of goals are also provided |
