Stand-capable desk use in a call center: a six-month follow-up pilot study

•The current study is a longitudinal cohort study following stand-capable workstation intervention usage patterns in an in-situ environment.•Results of sedentary time, among many other measurements including body discomfort data were tracked over baseline, three, and six month follow-up periods.•Subjects were in a regional call center and online surveys were used to collect discomfort and self-reported seated/standing habits, physical activity, and demographics. Wearable ActivPal® sensors were used to monitor actual sedentary time in-situ for each subject.•Results indicated a strong adoption phase, as corresponds with current literature. However, when tracked over time, study results indicated no significant change in the stand-capable workstation user habits over the 6-month period.•This is something unique to this study as most current studies indicate a significant drop-off in stand-capable desk use over time after the initial adoption phase.
