The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a drastic switch from office-based work to remote working, or a hybrid of both. Remote working has been shown to further increase sedentary behaviours. This initial phase of this project aims to understand the barriers and facilitators to reducing sedentary behaviours whilst working remotely from both an employee and employer’s perspective. Subsequently, these findings will be used to form an intervention that targets a reduction in sedentary behaviours whilst working remotely. Ultimately, this project will evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention on work and health-related markers.
Alan has completed an MSc in Sports Performance from the University of Limerick and his primary area of research is in physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Alan is also a practicing performance nutritionist and strength and conditioning coach. Supervisors: Dr Kieran Dowd, Dr Judit Bort Roig, Professor Karin Proper.
