Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of an 8 week workplace physical activity programme on various markers of physical fitness, cardiometabolic health and wellbeing of employees. The primary outcome measures are the following: aerobic fitness, grip strength, leg extensor power, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, body mass index, waist and hip circumference and self-report measures of psychological wellbeing. The secondary outcome measure is total physical activity. The primary and secondary outcomes measures will be assessed in the control and intervention groups at baseline and at the end of the intervention (8 weeks).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention arm

8 week workplace based exercise programme, 3 exercise sessions each week. Exercises will be conducted in an interval training format (60 second exercise bursts, followed by 75 seconds rest). The exercise bursts are designed to elicit ≥85% of participants age predicted maximum heart rate and will be tailored to each individuals fitness level and ability. Exercise sessions will be supervised and conducted in groups, with the option to request individual one-to-one sessions if preferred.

Outcome measures assessed at baseline and follow-up (8 weeks)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

High-intensity interval training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

• Exercises will be conducted in an interval training format (60 second exercise bursts, followed by 75 seconds rest). The exercise bursts are designed to elicit ≥85% of participants age predicted maximum heart rate and will be tailored to each individuals fitness level and ability. Exercise sessions will be conducted 3 times per week for 8 weeks and will last between 15-25 minutes.

Control

Outcome measures only at baseline at follow-up (8 weeks)

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
