Abstract

Objective
To analyze the feasibility of isometric wall squat exercise (IWSE) over a 12-week period as a method of breaking up sitting time during occupational activities in sedentary adults.

Methods
This feasibility randomized study involved sedentary adults. Participants in the IWSE group (n = 12) performed isometric wall squats, while participants in the STAND group (n = 12) were recommended to stand-up up for 12 weeks. Feasibility was assessed through online questionnaires in the 8th week regarding adherence, safety, satisfaction, and acceptability.

Results
Adherence to weekly breaks was similar between groups (p > 0.05). No serious side effects have been reported in the groups. Dropout rates (IWSE: 40%vs. STAND: 40%, p = 1.000), satisfaction [IWSE +3.4(1.2) vs. STAND +3.0(1.7), p = 0.709], and intention to continue with the intervention (IWSE: 75% vs. STAND: 83%, p = 0.368) were similar between groups.

Conclusion
The IWSE is as feasible as stand up as a strategy to breaking-up sedentary time in workplace.
