Effect of 3-week Behavioral Intervention to Reduce Sedentary Behavior on Body Composition and Blood Biomarkers: A Pilot Study (P16-017-19)

摘要

ObjectivesSedentary behavior has been linked to increased health risks yet few RCTs examine sedentary behavior in the context of meaningful health outcomes. Furthermore, few studies examine scalable interventions. This 3-week pilot study examined if cognitive behavioral sedentary behavior intervention (CBSB) or stress management (CBSM) intervention delivered via the internet (video) had a positive effect on sedentary behavior measured via the Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire (SBQ) and pedometer. The study further investigated changes in body weight (∆BW), body fat mass (∆BF), fat free mass (∆FFM), total cholesterol (∆TC), triglycerides (∆TG), low-density lipoprotein (∆LDL), high-density lipoprotein (∆HDL), and fasting glucose (∆Glc).
