Workers who experienced prolonged sitting have higher risk of mortality from all causes compared to non-sedentary workers. However, work can also be a health enhancement opportunity and it also can be designed to improve health and well-being. This research presents a novel intervention designed to reduce sedentary behavior in the workplace. Seven teams of employees (N = 30) conducted two meetings: one in a sitting position and one on a stationary bike. Repeated measures for heart rate, perceptions of stress, well-being, focus, attention and fatigue were collected before, during and after both meetings. Heart rate was significantly higher during active meeting. Results also indicated a significant effect of active meeting on stress. Well-being, focus and attention were similar during both meetings. Fatigue was perceived to be reduced in the hours following the active meeting. This suggests that active meetings can promote health without impairing performance which offers new perspectives for interventions.

与非久坐的工人相比，久坐的工人因各种原因死亡的风险更高。然而，工作也可以是一个促进健康的机会，它也可以用来改善健康和福祉。这项研究提出了一种新颖的干预措施，旨在减少工作场所的久坐行为。七支员工团队 (N = 30) 召开了两次会议：一次坐姿，一次骑固定自行车。在两次会议之前、期间和之后收集了心率、压力感知、幸福感、注意力、注意力和疲劳的重复测量值。活跃会议期间的心率明显较高。结果还表明积极会议对压力有显着影响。两次会议期间的幸福感、专注力和注意力都相似。在积极会议后的几个小时内，人们认为疲劳有所减少。这表明积极的会议可以在不损害绩效的情况下促进健康，这为干预提供了新的视角。
