Reduced Sedentary Time Intervention (RSTI)
Following 7 days of baseline activity monitoring a study investigator will download the information from the monitor, evaluate the periods of sedentary behavior and create a tailored RSTI for each participant. For example, the investigator may notice a long stretch of sitting in the evening following a meal and identify several exercises that can be done indoors during that time, or if the participant is amiable to walking breaks and a period after work is identified the investigator might suggest the appropriate walking activity at that time. This program has been successful in sedentary overweight office workers and investigators will use similar techniques.
