Non-exercise Physical Activity Intervention (STAND)

May 27, 2020 updated by: Science and Research Centre Koper

Effects of Dynamic Standing vs. Static Standing on Subjective Fatigue Symptoms

Physical inactivity is prevalent in older adults and poses a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this pilot study was to examine the effect of non-exercise physical activity using a standing desk on clinical variables in older adults with type 2 diabetes.

  • Interventional Model: Crossover Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Sitting
Three hours of sitting condition with ad-libitum breaks for toilet use and stretching. During this condition all cognitive, motor and pain scales were monitored.
We proposed a dynamic standing approach (working while standing accompanied by small periodic stepping movements) as a more tolerable and thereby more applicative lifestyle modification. To evaluate this form on healthy subjects, three different conditions were applied: 3 hours of sitting, static standing and dynamic standing. Both standing conditions were done with height-adjustable table which was developed at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA)
Other Names:
  • SIT
Active Comparator: Static standing
Four hours of static standing condition with ad-libitum breaks for toilet use and stretching. During this condition all cognitive, motor and pain scales were monitored.
