n = 15). Workers in the IG will use the sit-stand table with an alert system. The alert system has a pre-set time of 20 minutes standing for every 40 minutes sitting and it allows participants to cont

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
We expect to find changes in the 24-hour time-use compositions of physical behaviour, monitored using wearable sensors (accelerometer), in the intervention and comparison group compared to the control group at the third and sixth month of intervention.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
We expect to find a positive change (e.g., decrease or stability in symptoms) in musculoskeletal, physical and psychosocial health, measured through questionnaires, of the intervention and comparison group compared to the control group at the third and sixth month of intervention.—
