About this study
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of a DeskCycle intervention in reducing sedentary behavior by increasing the time spent participating in light to moderate physical activity in a randomly selected group of desk job employees at Kent State University main campus. The study also assessed the feasibility of using the DeskCycle in the working environment, as well as the effect on weight and mood. The primary outcome of interest was the 'mean minutes of light to moderate physical activity'. Secondary outcomes include weight, mood score, and feasibility of using the DeskCycle. The study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a cross-over design where differences between the intervention and control group were evaluated over an eight-week period, after which there was a switch and the DeskCycles were given to the control group to use for the eight-week period that followed. The allocation during the first eight-week period intervention will be done through random process.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Cycling/Using a DeskCycleBehavioural
The intervention was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, the intervention group were given the DeskCycles to use for 8 weeks. In phase, the control group from phase 1 were given the DeskCycles to use. Intervention group from phase 1 became controls in phase 2
Regular activitiesBehavioural
The active comparator performed normal daily activities
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cycling | Experimental | Used a DeskCycle during the workday/the intervention increased the amount of time spent being physically active. Receives: Behavioral: Cycling/Using a DeskCycle |
| Control | Active comparator | Regular activities Receives: Behavioral: Regular activities |
