Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess a novel, widely-accessible intervention to both promote active breaks from work and improve cognitive and psychological performances at work in motivationally-accessible bouts. This will be done by interrupting prolonged sitting with 1-4 short (1-4 minutes), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) bouts with no equipment, and simple video-based instructions. The short bouts will be referred to as "exercise snacks." In this proposed exercise snacks intervention, investigators explicitly target a population with sedentary jobs due to the generalizability.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Number of self-reported exercise snack breaks at work at week 7

  For the post-test week after the 6 week intervention, participants will self-report the number of exercise snacks they do each day.

  Collected 1 work week at week 7 (the week after the 6 week intervention)

• Number of self-reported exercise snack breaks at work at week 18

  For one week (at week 18) participants will self-report the number of exercise snacks they do each day.

  collected 1 work week at week 18 (3 months after the intervention)

• Number of self-reported exercise snack breaks at work at week 30 during follow-up

  For one week (at week 30) participants will self-report the number of exercise snacks they do each day.

  collected 1 work week at week 30 (6 months after the intervention)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Liking of exercise snacks

  at week 7, post test, immediately after 6 weeks of treatment
