Remote and hybrid working have transformed the way we work. While this increasingly common way of working offers many benefits, it has also contributed to reduced daily movement and prolonged sitting, with important implications for physical and mental health. This lecture will explore the latest research on physical activity and sedentary behaviour in remote and hybrid workers. We will also discuss practical strategies that individuals and organisations can use to create more active, healthier work environments, including the early findings of an evidence-based intervention developed at Loughborough University to support healthier working habits.
Speakers
Professor Stacy Clemes is a Professor of Active Living and Public Health at Loughborough University. Stacy’s research focuses on the development, implementation and evaluation of pragmatic behaviour change programmes, predominantly designed to encourage people to sit less and move more. She has investigated the impact of sit-stand desks in the classroom and workplace, along with family and community-based activity interventions. Following the pandemic, her research has focused on the effect of remote and hybrid working – and their potential influence on workers’ activity levels, sitting time, sleep and dietary behaviours.
Dr Lizzie Stamp is a Senior Lecturer in Lifestyle Behaviours and Health at Loughborough University and a member of the PHRASE (Promoting Health in Remote And Sedentary Employees) research group. Lizzie’s research focuses on understanding, measuring and promoting lifestyle behaviours such as physical activity, sedentary behaviour, diet and sleep. Her work involves developing, implementing and evaluating theoretically informed interventions.
