The objective of this study was to determine the effects of 2 physical exercise programs carried out during working hours in an office work environment on health-related parameters of employees.
The participants included 47 healthy office worker volunteers (aged 45±11.95 years, 27% males) who formed 3 groups: circuit training (CT), brisk walk (BW), and control (C) groups. The interventions lasted 12 weeks with a weekly frequency of three 30-minute sessions in the middle of the workday. All employees were evaluated with a multicomponent battery test which included: anthropometric and body composition measurements, a cardiorespiratory fitness test, lipid profile, blood pressure, and mental health (depression, anxiety, and stress). Basic descriptive statistics were calculated. A repeated measures ANOVA was performed to summarize changes in the variables studied after the application of the physical exercise programs.
Generally, both exercise programs (CT and BW) maintained the body weight and body mass index while reducing body fat mass (a group × time interaction; 4.864 ≤ F ≤ 6.524, 0.001 ≤ p ≤ 0.015), although the CT intervention also showed relevant (inter-group) reductions in the waist-hip ratio (F = 11.311, p = 0.007) and increased skeletal muscle mass (F = 15.062, p = 0.003). Both exercise programs (CT and BW) improved the cardiorespiratory fitness test scores (a group × time interaction; F = 18.054, p < 0.001). There were no changes in the lipid profile or blood pressure after the interventions, but there was an improvement in mental health (4.760 ≤ F ≤ 8.087, 0.008 ≤ p ≤ 0.037).
The findings suggest that both types of programs could be implemented in the employees' daily routine in order to improve their overall health. Nevertheless, studies with larger samples are necessary before the conclusions can be generalized. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2021;34(1):39-51.
本研究旨在确定在办公环境中进行的 2 项体育锻炼计划对员工健康相关参数的影响。
共有 47 名健康的办公室工作志愿者（年龄 45±11.95 岁，男性占 27%）参与了这项研究，他们分为 3 组：循环训练（CT）组、快走（BW）组和对照组（C）。干预持续 12 周，每周 3 次，每次 30 分钟，在工作日的中间进行。所有员工都接受了多组件电池测试的评估，包括：人体测量和身体成分测量、心肺功能测试、血脂谱、血压和心理健康（抑郁、焦虑和压力）。计算了基本描述性统计数据。应用重复测量方差分析总结了体育锻炼计划实施后研究变量的变化。
一般来说，两种运动方案（CT 和 BW）都保持了体重和体重指数，同时减少了体脂肪量（组间×时间交互作用；4.864≤F≤6.524，0.001≤p≤0.015），尽管 CT 干预还显示了腰围-臀围比的相关（组间）降低（F=11.311，p=0.007）和骨骼肌质量的增加（F=15.062，p=0.003）。两种运动方案（CT 和 BW）都提高了心肺功能测试评分（组间×时间交互作用；F=18.054，p<0.001）。干预后血脂谱或血压没有变化，但心理健康有所改善（4.760≤F≤8.087，0.008≤p≤0.037）。
这些发现表明，这两种类型的方案都可以在员工的日常生活中实施，以提高他们的整体健康水平。然而，在得出结论之前，需要进行更大样本的研究。国际职业医学与环境卫生杂志。2021；34（1）：39-51。
