Compliance and Effectiveness of Movement Breaks Throughout the Day

The study found that about 40% of the participants dropped out, but 60% complied with taking the movement breaks. Despite this compliance, only about half of the participants found it feasible to take movement breaks every half hour. However, about 80% found it feasible to take breaks every hour or every two hours. On average, those who took breaks every half hour only took about 8 breaks a day, falling short of the recommended 16 breaks for an eight-hour workday. Despite these challenges, the study showed that people liked the intervention, with about 82 to 83% of participants expressing their liking for the movement breaks and reporting positive effects.
