Feasibility of a Health Coach Intervention to Reduce Sitting Time and Improve Physical Functioning Among Breast Cancer Survivors: Pilot Intervention Study

Feasibility of a Health Coach Intervention to Reduce Sitting Time and Improve Physical Functioning Among Breast Cancer Survivors: Pilot Intervention Study

Intervention topics were modeled from a sitting less intervention aimed to reduce sitting time in postmenopausal women [29] and adapted for breast cancer survivors. Adaptations included modifying the educational materials and health coach sessions to reflect how the goal of decreasing sitting time may improve health-outcomes and minimizes the risk of cancer recurrence [20].

Sedentariness and Back Health in Western Cape Primary School Students: Protocol for a Pragmatic Stepped-Wedge Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Sedentariness and Back Health in Western Cape Primary School Students: Protocol for a Pragmatic Stepped-Wedge Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Prolonged periods of sitting with accentuated thoracic kyphosis reduces and even reverses the natural, protective spinal curvature [5]. Although the etiology of back pain is multifactorial, poor postural alignment and reduced postural dynamism (number and extent of body movements while sitting) are common risk factors of back pain [6-9]. Static sitting may place an excessive physiological load on the spinal structures, leading to accumulative microdamage and consequent pain [10].

Supporting Workers to Sit Less and Move More Through the Web-Based BeUpstanding Program: Protocol for a Single-Arm, Repeated Measures Implementation Study

Sitting time can be strongly contextually driven, dictated by the environmental and social settings in which it occurs [4]. For many working adults, the majority of daily sitting time is accrued in the occupational environment [5], with desk workers spending on average 70% to 80% of their working day sitting [6].
