Summary

This study looks at whether using a sit-stand desk or an under-desk bike during a 12-hour shift can reduce the amount of time emergency dispatchers spend sitting. Thirty-six dispatchers will try each setup for one day, and their movement will be tracked with activity monitors. The goal is to see if these simple workplace changes can help counteract the health effects of prolonged sedentary behavior.
