Use of a DeskCycle to Reduce Sedentary Behavior During the Workday
NCT05412797 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of a DeskCycle intervention in reducing sedentary behavior by increasing the time spent participating in light to moderate physical activity in a randomly selected group of desk job employees at Kent State University main campus. The study also assessed the feasibility of using the DeskCycle in the working environment, as well as the effect on weight and mood. The primary outcome of interest was the 'mean minutes of light to moderate physical activity'. Secondary outcomes include weight, mood score, and feasibility of using the DeskCycle. The study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a cross-over design where differences between the intervention and control group were evaluated over an eight-week period, after which there was a switch and the DeskCycles were given to the control group to use for the eight-week period that followed. The allocation during the first eight-week period intervention will be done through random process.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05412797
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05412797 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 80 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Kent State University, which has 10 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Chronic Disease appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Cycling/Using a DeskCycle is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05412797 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
