人们对办公室工作人员站立和坐着的身体活动模式知之甚少。然而，人们对深入了解这些行为越来越感兴趣，特别是在公共卫生优先事项方面，以减少与坐着时间长和身体活动少有关的非传染性疾病风险因素。随着室内跟踪系统的出现和日益普及，现在可以绘制室内空间使用情况的详细图片。本文报告了与ActivPAL活动监测设备结合使用的室内跟踪的初步结果。在本文中，我们给出了跟踪系统的使用和安装的概述，并说明了一些由此产生的数据。我们还提供了初步的结果，调查的位置，轻体力活动和坐在一个小样本的办公室工作人员（n=33）从两个不同的办公室环境之间的关系，以证明该技术的相关性和解释力。
Little is known of the patterns of physical activity, standing and sitting by office workers. However, insight into these behaviours is of growing interest, notably in regard to public health priorities to reduce non-communicable disease risk factors associated with high levels of sitting time and low levels of physical activity. With the advent and increasing availability of indoor tracking systems it is now becoming possible to build detailed pictures of the usage of indoor spaces. This paper reports initial results of indoor tracking used in conjunction with the ActivPAL activity monitoring device. In this paper we give an overview of the usage of the tracking system and its installation and illustrate some of the resultant data. We also provide preliminary results that investigate the relationship between location, light physical activity and sitting in a small sample of office workers (n=33) from two separate office environments in order to demonstrate the relevance and explanatory power of the technique.
