The purpose of this study is to examine the contribution of sit-stand workstations to total daily physical activity in a multi-component office-based 12 month intervention.

Detailed description

This study adopts a randomised control trial design and is mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative). The outcome data from the trial is quantitative. Alongside this a qualitative process evaluation will be conducted to inform the intervention, explain trial results and understand the intervention implementation and context (Cathain et al. 2014). Two worksites will participate in this study, in line with COCHRANE recommendations for randomised control trials.
