Workplaces cause employees to adopt sedentary behaviors for most of their daytime, negatively impacting psychophysical health. A new office concept (UP150) was designed to reduce sedentary behaviors at work through architectural changes, proactive technologies, and wellness coaches (education to active lifestyles). The present study examined the effects of the UP150 concept, previously investigated in dedicated workspaces, with a 12-month longitudinal trial in a real worksite environment. Forty-eight desk workers comprised the experimental (EG) and control (CG) groups. All participants worked in the same working environment, having the UP150 features inserted in a usual working environment, but the CG was not allowed to interact with the UP150 specifics. During the experimental year, physical (physical activity, motor efficiency, and anthropometric features), clinical (metabolic parameters and cognitive-capacity-related parameters), and psychological (well-being and discomfort, job social and psychological perceptions, and perceived workload) features were assessed. The prolonged application of the UP150 procedure in a mixed working context for involvement in corporate policies positively affected EG workers' physical (physical activity and motor efficiency increased, and body fat unchanged), clinical (blood glucose, insulin, and total cholesterol decreased; HDL increased), and psychological (well-being and social support raised; job demand and perceived workload lowered) parameters, confirming the previous studies.
工作场所会使员工在白天的大部分时间里采取久坐行为，对身心健康产生负面影响。一种新的办公理念（UP150）旨在通过建筑变革、主动技术和健康教练（倡导积极生活方式的教育）来减少工作中的久坐行为。本研究通过在实际工作场所环境中进行为期12个月的纵向试验，检验了此前在专用工作空间中研究过的UP150理念的效果。48名办公室职员被分为实验组（EG）和对照组（CG）。所有参与者在相同的工作环境中工作，在普通工作环境中融入了UP150的特色，但对照组不允许接触UP150的具体内容。在实验年份期间，对身体（身体活动、运动效率和人体测量特征）、临床（代谢参数和认知能力相关参数）以及心理（幸福感和不适感、工作的社会和心理认知以及感知工作量）特征进行了评估。在混合工作环境中长时间应用UP150程序以参与公司政策，对实验组员工的身体（身体活动和运动效率提高，体脂不变）、临床（血糖、胰岛素和总胆固醇降低；高密度脂蛋白增加）和心理（幸福感和社会支持提高；工作需求和感知工作量降低）参数产生了积极影响，证实了此前的研究。
