Workplace interventions for reducing sitting at work

TLDR
A large number of people are employed in sedentary occupations and physical inactivity and excessive sitting at workplaces have been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and all-cause mortality, so the effectiveness of workplace interventions to reduce sitting at work compared to no intervention or alternative interventions was evaluated.
Abstract
Background A large number of people are employed in sedentary occupations. Physical inactivity and excessive sitting at workplaces have been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and all‐cause mortality.

How to reduce sitting time? A review of behaviour change strategies used in sedentary behaviour reduction interventions among adults

TL;DR: Interventions based on environmental restructuring, persuasion, or education were most promising, and future sedentary reduction interventions might most fruitfully incorporate environmental modification and self-regulatory skills training.

Integrating sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity research in the emerging field of time-use epidemiology: definitions, concepts, statistical methods, theoretical framework, and future directions

TL;DR: This paper defines the emerging research field's position among established branches of science, explains its main concepts and defines associated terms, recommends suitable data analysis methods, proposes a theoretical model for future research, and identifies key research questions.

Health outcomes associated with reallocations of time between sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity: a systematic scoping review of isotemporal substitution studies

TL;DR: It seems that reallocations of sedentary time to LPA or MVPA are associated with significant reduction in mortality risk, and the strongest association with health outcomes is observed when time is reallocated from sedentary behaviour to MVPA.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
