这项试点研究采用非等效的准实验对照组设计，检验了使用计步器进行为期 4 周的干预，以增加工作成年人的体力活动和心理健康状况并减少久坐行为的效果。采用描述性分析和非参数程序。在基线时，使用计步器的组和不使用计步器的组之间的平均每日坐着时间没有统计学上的显着差异。四周后，计步器使用者的平均每日静坐时间显着减少，心理健康状况也有所改善。相比之下，对于非用户来说，这一结果没有显着变化。我们的结果强调了对工人进行简单的短期干预的潜在好处，可以减少久坐行为并提高在职成年人的心理健康状况。
This pilot study examined the effects of a four-week intervention using a pedometer to increase physical activity and mental health status and decrease sedentary behaviour among working adults, using a non-equivalent quasi-experimental control group design. Descriptive analyses and nonparametric procedures were employed. At baseline, there were no statistically significant differences with regard to average daily time spent sitting between the group that used pedometers and the one that did not. After four weeks, a statistically significant decrease in the average daily time spent sitting, as well as an improvement in mental health, was observed among pedometer users. In contrast, there were no significant changes on this outcome for nonusers. Our results highlight the potential benefits of a simple, short-term intervention for workers that could decrease sedentary behaviour and increase the mental health status of working adults.
