How Does Implementing a GetUp Assist Device in Addition to a Daily Low-intensity Functional or Traditional Training Program Affect Norwegian Female Office Workers' Physical Health After 12 Weeks?
This study aims to quantify the effect of daily transition routines between sitting and standing behaviour with an additional daily low-intensity traditional or functional training program on the physical health of sedentary Norwegian female workers after 12 weeks of implementation into their working environment.

- No experience with office fit training or participation in an ongoing similar training intervention is allowed.
- Working more than 6 hours a day at a computer workstation
- Physical inactivity (less than two sessions or bouts of exercise totalling 30 minutes/week).
- Musculoskeletal complaints are accepted as long as the pain is not a restricting factor. when performing the testing and training intervention exercises.
