Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This pilot study questions the effects of a worksite physical activity program on health and fitness in tertiary employees. METHODS:Ninety-five employees were randomly assigned to Control (CON); Novice (NOV); Experienced group (EXP). The NOV and EXP groups followed a 5-month worksite physical activity program (at least two sessions/week). Body composition, physical activity level and physical fitness, eating habits, health perception, sleep quality, pain, and quality of life were assessed. RESULTS:Fat mass decreased in NOV and EXP; the distance covered during the 6-minute walking test, push-ups, squat jump increased for NOV and EXP group. Physical activity level, health perception, quality of sleep, and eating habits were improved in NOV. CONCLUSION: This study underlines for the first time the beneficial effects of such worksite programs among tertiary employees on overall health and the feasibility of its design.
