About this study
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate participant use of a dedicated office pedal desk with and without behavioral support.
Read the detailed description
For this pilot study the investigators will identify and recruit up to 20 full time Pennington Biomedical staff members employed in sedentary jobs (i.e., report mostly sitting during working hours). The sample size is limited by the number of pedal desks being built for this pilot study and the need for timely data generation. Although the investigators can stagger starts as needed, all participants must intend to be on campus for the subsequent 6 weeks after they start the intervention. Two cohorts of 10 participants will complete the three 2-week conditions in the following order: 1) SELF-DIRECTED use where participants have access to their daily recorded data but will not have any other form of feedback or goal-setting; 2) FACILITATED use where participants are provided with their daily recorded pedal desk data and additional daily behavioral support from an interventionist (e.g., feedback and goal-setting) to increase their use of the pedal desk by an individually negotiated and agreed upon amount; 3) FACILITATED use with PEDOMETER where participants will be provided with their daily recorded pedal desk and step count data and additional daily behavioral support from an interventionist (e.g., feedback and goal-setting) to increase their use of the pedal desk by an individually negotiated and agreed upon amount and increase their step count by 3,000 steps/day compared to baseline. Participants will be asked to pedal at a sustainable and self-selected pace while using the pedal desk.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Self-Directed Pedal DeskBehavioural
participants will have a pedal desk installed in their office and will have access to their daily recorded data but will not have any other form of feedback or goal-setting
Facilitated Pedal DeskBehavioural
participants are provided with their daily recorded pedal desk data and additional daily behavioral support from an interventionist (e.g., feedback and goal-setting) to increase their use of the pedal desk by an individually negotiated and agreed upon amount
Facilitated Pedal Desk with PedometerBehavioural
participants will be provided with their daily recorded pedal desk and step count data and additional daily behavioral support from an interventionist (e.g., feedback and goal-setting) to increase their use of the pedal desk by an individually negotiated and agreed upon amount and increase their step count by 3,000 steps/day compared to baseline.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Pedal Desk | Other | Participants will complete three 2-week conditions in the following order:
1. Self-directed Pedal Desk
2. Facilitated Pedal Desk
3. Facilitated Pedal Desk with Pedometer Receives: Behavioral: Self-Directed Pedal Desk; Behavioral: Facilitated Pedal Desk; Behavioral: Facilitated Pedal Desk with Pedometer |

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Weight Change (kg) (time frame: Baseline to 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2019.
