Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes and processes of a video and web-based worksite exercise intervention for sedentary office workers in China.
The intervention is informed by behaviour change theory, and is a digital workplace intervention (called Move-It) involving a 10-minute Qigong exercise session (video demonstration via website) which is delivered twice a day at set break times during the working day for 12 consecutive weeks.
The setting is a large organisation with 2 sites (in Beijing and Guangzhou). The objectives are to examine the effect of a video-based intervention on employees' physical activity, time spent sitting and work performance. This is tested in a 2-group, randomised wait-list control trial. This means that employees at one site receive the intervention first (site 1 - intervention group), and when they have completed (12 weeks later), the other site then receives the same intervention (site 2 - wait-list control). At the end of the intervention, there is a process evaluation with the intervention group which includes focus groups with employees and managers to gather information about the way in which the intervention was implemented. The process evaluation is based on a framework called 'Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance' (RE-AIM). Data were collected at baseline (before the intervention began) and after 12 weeks in both groups.
Detailed Description
Aim The aim of the study is to deliver a digital video-based worksite exercise intervention in China and conduct outcome and process evaluation. The objectives are: [1] to examine the effect of a video-based intervention on physical activity (PA) and weekday sitting hours (individual level); [2] to examine the effect of a video-based intervention on individual work performance (individual level); [3] to conduct a process evaluation of the intervention implementation (individual and cluster level).
Design This is a 2-arm cluster-randomised wait-list control trial, with outcomes assessed in two groups: intervention and wait-list control (objectives 1 and 2).
Clusters (sites) will be randomly allocated to groups at 1:1 ratio using computer-generated random number sequence.
Setting 2 sites of a major organisation in China (one in Beijing, one in Guangzhou), with a total of 490 employees.
Data Collection Data will be collected through online questionnaires emailed to all employee participants (Time 1 = T1). Employees in both groups will complete a second online questionnaire (Time 2 = T2). For the intervention group T2 will be immediately post-intervention, for the wait-list control group this will be just prior to receiving the intervention.

Arms & Interventions
Intervention Group (MoveIt)
10-minute Qigong exercise session (video demonstration via website) delivered twice a day at set break times during the working day for 12 consecutive weeks
Intervention: Move-It (Behavioral)
Wait-list control group
No intervention for 12 weeks. Then received the MoveIt Intervention for 12 weeks.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Taiwanese short form
Time Frame: Covers a person's record of physical activity for a period of seven days
Measure of self-reported physical activity. Includes culturally sensitive Chinese translations for the terms "moderate", "vigorous" and "physical activity" as well as to identify representative types of physical activity for Taiwanese. Content validity 0.994.
Secondary Outcomes
- Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ).(Overall performance rating for the days worked over the past 4 weeks.)
- Weekday sitting hours(1 day (average))
