How it works

Highlighted claims

• Participants typically altered sedentary tasks rather than abandoning them, using strategies such as standing during phone calls, marching on the spot, or creating errands as reasons to move. — Randomised-controlled feasibility study evaluating the REgulate your SItting Time (RESIT) intervention for reducing sitting in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a process evaluation
• Participants did not always clearly distinguish sitting less from increasing physical activity, because movement can replace sitting. — Randomised-controlled feasibility study evaluating the REgulate your SItting Time (RESIT) intervention for reducing sitting in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a process evaluation
• The article describes a graduated behavioural progression from sitting to standing and then to more active behaviours such as movement snacks, with standing serving as a transition step. — Randomised-controlled feasibility study evaluating the REgulate your SItting Time (RESIT) intervention for reducing sitting in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a process evaluation
• Health coaches observed that participants often needed a purpose or reason to sit less and that building these behaviours into habits became easier over time. — Randomised-controlled feasibility study evaluating the REgulate your SItting Time (RESIT) intervention for reducing sitting in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a process evaluation
