Sedentary behaviour (low energy-expenditure seated activity) is a risk factor for cardio-metabolic disease, independently of PA. Sitting is a risk even to those who do 150mins per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity. This is an urgent public health concern, because modern UK working practices are increasingly sedentary. Objective data suggest office workers typically spend around two-thirds of the day at a desk and sit for 6 hours out of 8 hours in the typical working day. Standing in the office tends to encourage other forms of light activity (e.g. walking in the office), and reduces and sustains glucose and insulin responses. Standard cardio-respiratory responses of standing vs. sitting equate to increased energy expenditure of 0.5-1.0 additional kcal/min [13]. Accumulating 3 hours per week of standing over a year could generate an additional annual energy expenditure of 25,000-30,000 calories - equivalent in activity levels to running around 10 marathons. Substituting workplace sitting for standing offers a relatively inexpensive, accessible and potentially effective means to counter low occupational energy expenditure and improve health by integrating light activity into sedentary routines. Behaviour change interventions (BCIs) promoting standing at work can increase light activity and so improve workforce health, but how they would be received is not known. We propose an intervention that will encourage the replacement of sitting with standing in university workers. It will involve making motivational and structural changes to make standing a habitual response to everyday situations within the workplace environment. This multidisciplinary project comprises three work packages (WPs), using qualitative and quantitative methods, to assess acceptability and feasibility of a habit-based BCI to reduce desk-based sitting. The WPs address psychological, social and organisational facilitators and barriers to modifying work practices, which must be understood to increase the likelihood of our intervention being implemented. WP1 uses qualitative methods to document university workers' experiences of self-determined standing in workplace meetings where sitting is normative. WP2 focuses on motor and cognitive performance, as a proxy for productivity, when sitting or standing, with or without distraction. WPs1-2 will aid development of a habit-based BCI to displace workplace sitting with standing. WP3 uses in-depth interviews and activity monitoring among university staff to examine whether the intervention is acceptable to university workers. Together, the WPs fill a knowledge gap on achieving long-term substitution of sitting with standing in a manner acceptable to workers and employers alike.

久坐行为（低能量消耗的坐着活动）是心脏代谢疾病的一个危险因素，与 PA 无关。即使对于那些每周进行 150 分钟中度至剧烈体力活动的人来说，久坐也是一种风险。这是一个紧迫的公共卫生问题，因为现代英国的工作习惯越来越久坐。客观数据表明，办公室工作人员通常一天大约三分之二的时间都在办公桌前度过，在典型工作日的 8 小时中，有 6 小时是坐着的。站在办公室往往会鼓励其他形式的轻度活动（例如在办公室散步），并减少和维持葡萄糖和胰岛素反应。站立与坐着的标准心肺反应相当于增加 0.5-1.0 kcal/min 的能量消耗 [13]。累积每周站立 3 小时一年以上，每年可产生 25,000-30,000 卡路里的额外能量消耗，相当于跑 10 场马拉松左右的活动水平。用工作场所的坐姿代替站立提供了一种相对便宜、方便且可能有效的方法，可以通过将轻度活动融入久坐的习惯来应对低职业能量消耗并改善健康。促进站立工作的行为改变干预措施 (BCI) 可以增加轻度活动，从而改善员工健康，但人们会如何接受这些措施尚不清楚。我们提出一项干预措施，鼓励大学工作人员以站立取代坐姿。它将涉及进行动机和结构上的改变，使站立成为对工作场所环境中日常情况的习惯性反应。这个多学科项目包括三个工作包 (WP)，使用定性和定量方法来评估基于习惯的 BCI 的可接受性和可行性，以减少久坐。工作计划解决了改变工作实践的心理、社会和组织促进因素和障碍，必须理解这些因素，以增加我们实施干预措施的可能性。 WP1 使用定性方法来记录大学员工在工作场所会议中自主站立的经历，其中坐姿是规范的。 WP2 侧重于运动和认知表现，作为工作效率的指标，无论是坐着还是站着，无论是否分心。 WPs1-2 将帮助开发基于习惯的 BCI，以站立取代工作场所的坐姿。 WP3 对大学工作人员进行深入访谈和活动监测，以检查大学工作人员是否可以接受干预措施。工作人员共同填补了以工人和雇主都能接受的方式实现长期以站取代坐的知识空白。
