This systematic review aims to collect existing literature and summarize the impact of active workstations on the health and work outcomes of participants with overweight or obesity.
Five databases were examined (until March 2018), and the keywords "desk," "workstation," "work station," and "work stations" were used with any one of the following terms: "active," "bik*," "cycling," "height adjustable," "stepping," "stand up," "standing," "treadmill*," "walk*," "elliptical," "bicycl*," "pedaling," "stability ball," "stability balls," "exercise ball," "exercise balls," "swiss ball," "swiss balls," "sit-to-stand," and "sit stand."
Nineteen studies (two with school-aged children) were included in this review. Nine studies used treadmill, three used cycling, one used stepping, and twelve used standing desks. A decrease in sedentary time and an increase in physical activity level and energy expenditure were observed for most of the active workstations. Both the treadmill and the cycle desk improved glycemic control, but the treadmill desk was the only workstation for which improved work performance and help in body-weight management (body fat percentage, body weight, waist and hip circumference) were reported.
Active workstations are a promising solution for decreasing occupational sedentariness. Overall, active workstations have a positive impact on energy expenditure and physical activity in individuals with overweight and obesity.
本系统评价旨在收集现有文献，总结活动工作站对超重或肥胖参与者健康和工作结果的影响。
共检索了 5 个数据库（截至 2018 年 3 月），使用了“desk”“workstation”“work station”和“work stations”等关键词，并与以下任何一个术语相结合：“active”“bik*”“cycling”“height adjustable”“stepping”“stand up”“standing”“treadmill*”“walk*”“elliptical”“bicycl*”“pedaling”“stability ball”“stability balls”“exercise ball”“exercise balls”“swiss ball”“swiss balls”“sit-to-stand”和“sit stand”。
本综述纳入了 19 项研究（其中 2 项为学龄儿童研究）。9 项研究使用跑步机，3 项研究使用自行车，1 项研究使用踏步机，12 项研究使用站立式办公桌。大多数活动工作站都可减少久坐时间，增加身体活动水平和能量消耗。跑步机和自行车桌都可改善血糖控制，但只有跑步机桌可改善工作表现并有助于控制体重（体脂百分比、体重、腰围和臀围）。
活动工作站是减少职业久坐的一种有前途的解决方案。总体而言，活动工作站对超重和肥胖个体的能量消耗和身体活动有积极影响。
