Brief Summary

The practice of a physical activity, even moderate, plays an important role in the prevention and the management of the main chronic non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis ...) as well as by improving psychological health. Several studies have shown that physical activity has a positive impact on the economy of companies via the reduction of absenteeism and the improvement of productivity. However, it seems important to individualize these recommendations in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity for each individual. In this project, the investigators want to test the physical qualities of employees in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life.

The originality of this project is to evaluate physical capacities directly within the company of the participants instead of hospital unit.

Detailed Description

Physical activity (PA) is one of the major determinants of health. Indeed, the practice of a physical activity, even moderate, plays an important role in the prevention and the management of the main chronic non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis ...) as well as by improving psychological health. The effects are beneficial regardless of age, gender and state of health. Moreover, in addition to the well-being of employees, several studies have shown that physical activity has a positive impact on the economy of companies via the reduction of absenteeism and the improvement of productivity. Today, the World Health Organization (WHO) prescribes 150 min of physical activity per week regardless of the person's profile (active employee, employee working in his office, construction worker, etc.).. In this project,the investigators therefore want to test the physical qualities of employees in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life.
