目的：有人提出，与坐着的能量消耗相比，办公场所的步进装置与能量消耗显著和实质性地增加有关。目的：评估办公场所踏步装置对瘦身和肥胖上班族能量消耗的影响。方法：办公场所踏步装置是一种价格低廉、近乎静音、低冲击的装置，可以安装在标准办公桌下，插入办公室PC进行自我监测。使用步进器以及休息、坐着和走路时，对瘦和肥胖受试者的能量消耗进行了测量。19名受试者(27+/-9岁，85+/-23 kg)：9名瘦(BMI，29 kg/m(2))受试者参加了实验办公设施。结果：坐在办公椅上的能量消耗比坐在办公椅上的能量消耗增加289+/-102千卡/小时(p<0.05)。
Objective: It was proposed that an office-place stepping device is associated with significant and substantial increases in energy expenditure compared to sitting energy expenditure. The objective was to assess the effect of using an office-place stepping device on the energy expenditure of lean and obese office workers.Methods: The office-place stepping device is an inexpensive, near-silent, low-impact device that can be housed under a standard desk and plugged into an office PC for self-monitoring. Energy expenditure was measured in lean and obese subjects using the stepping device and during rest, sitting and walking. 19 subjects ( 27 +/- 9 years, 85 +/- 23 kg): 9 lean (BMI, 29 kg/m(2)) attended the experimental office facility. Energy expenditure was measured at rest, while seated in an office chair, standing, walking on a treadmill and while using the office-place stepping device.Results: The office-place stepping device was associated with an increase in energy expenditure above sitting in an office chair by 289 +/- 102 kcal/hour (p
