Despite extensive efforts, issues like obesity and poor physical capacity remain challenges for a healthy work life in several occupations. The Goldilocks work principle offers a new approach, encouraging design of productive work to promote physical capacity and health. This paper presents the protocol for the Goldilocks-childcare study, a randomised controlled intervention trial aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the Goldilocks work principle in childcare. The primary aim of the intervention is to increase time in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) by having the childcare workers act as active role models for children in daily playful physical activities, and thereby improve cardiorespiratory fitness and health of the workers.
The study is a cluster-randomised trial with a usual-practice wait-list control group. The 10-week intervention consists of two phases. In the first, the childcare workers will participate in two participatory workshops aiming to a) develop playful physical activities ('Goldilocks-games') for children in which childcare workers participate as active role models at MVPA intensity, and b) develop action plans for implementation of the Goldilocks-games in daily work routines. In the second phase, childcare institutions will implement the Goldilocks-games. The primary outcome is working time spent in MVPA, and secondary outcomes are cardiorespiratory fitness, sleeping heart rate, perceived need for recovery, and productivity. Primary outcome and process evaluation will be based on direct measurements of physical activity and heart rate, determination of cardiorespiratory fitness, and questionnaires.
If proven effective, the Goldilocks work principle has a large potential for promoting sustainable health and working lives of childcare workers.

尽管付出了巨大努力，但在许多职业中，肥胖和身体机能差等问题仍然是健康工作生活的挑战。金氏工作原则提供了一种新方法，鼓励设计富有成效的工作以促进身体机能和健康。本文介绍了金氏儿童保育研究的方案，这是一项随机对照干预试验，旨在评估在儿童保育中实施金氏工作原则的有效性。该干预的主要目的是通过让儿童保育工作者在日常游戏性身体活动中充当积极的榜样，从而增加中等至剧烈体力活动（MVPA）的时间，提高工人的心肺健康和健康水平。
该研究是一项集群随机试验，设有常规实践等待名单对照组。为期 10 周的干预措施包括两个阶段。在第一阶段，儿童保育工作者将参加两个参与式研讨会，旨在 a）为儿童开发游戏性身体活动（“金氏游戏”），其中儿童保育工作者以 MVPA 强度参与积极的榜样作用，以及 b）制定在日常工作中实施金氏游戏的行动计划。在第二阶段，儿童保育机构将实施金氏游戏。主要结果是 MVPA 工作时间，次要结果是心肺健康、静息心率、感知恢复需求和生产力。主要结果和过程评估将基于体力活动和心率的直接测量、心肺健康的确定以及问卷调查。
如果被证明有效，金氏工作原则具有促进儿童保育工作者可持续健康和工作生活的巨大潜力。
