UPnGO with ParticipACTION: Evaluating the evolution of a national workplace physical activity initiative – Part 2

In order to improve the health and work productivity of Canadians, ParticipACTION developed a rewards-based, PA tracking intervention called UPnGO with ParticipACTION. The UPnGO program aims to increase the amount of PA and decrease the amount of sedentary activities throughout the workday. This program was released to the public in Fall of 2017, however, program participation hasn’t been as successful as we would like, and participants are not getting the PA benefits the program is designed to achieve. We are working to redesign the program to address these issues. Following which, we will be evaluating and assessing the success of the new version of the UPnGO program to improve the health and work productivity of Canadian workers.
