Physical activity at workplace can positively impact various wellbeing outcomes yet developing and implementing exercise programs that are straightforward, time-efficient and widely applicable remains a notable public health challenge. Sport4Health Network (SPORT4H) project co-funded by the European Union Erasmus+ programme unites health and sport professionals in an effort to encourage participation in physical activity among working population and reduce health risk factors for lifestyle diseases. A two-day SPORT4H scientific forum on non-traditional types of work-place exercise interventions was organized from 14th to 15th September 2020, to critically evaluate evidence on stretching and resistance exercise programs targeted to working population in aim to identify knowledge gaps and future areas of research and application. Evidence on traditional interventions (e.g., walking initiatives, active travel) appears more robust while only few studies evaluated the applicability of non-traditional PA programs in working population. However, we identified a moderate-to-strong link between non-traditional PA programs at the workplace and several health-related physical fitness indices, with resistance exercise turned out to be superior to other exercise interventions analyzed. It appears that low-volume high-repetition resistance exercise favorably affects musculoskeletal disorders, work performance and health-related quality of life in employees who exercised at least 3 times per week for over 8 weeks. In terms of safety, screening protocols should employ health-related questionnaires, adopting a progressive training load, and prescribing training programs to individual participants' needs. Implementing non-traditional PA programs aimed to improve health-related physical fitness and counteract sedentary behavior at workplace might be therefore of utmost importance to contribute to health promotion in this sensible population.
工作场所的体育活动能对各种健康结果产生积极影响，但制定和实施简单易行、省时高效且广泛适用的锻炼计划仍然是一项重大的公共卫生挑战。由欧盟伊拉斯谟+计划共同资助的“体育促进健康网络”（SPORT4H）项目，将健康和体育专业人员联合起来，努力鼓励在职人群参与体育活动，并降低生活方式疾病的健康风险因素。2020年9月14日至15日举办了为期两天的SPORT4H科学论坛，主题是非传统类型的工作场所运动干预措施，旨在严格评估针对在职人群的伸展和阻力锻炼计划的证据，以找出知识空白以及未来的研究和应用领域。关于传统干预措施（如步行倡议、主动出行）的证据似乎更为充分，而只有少数研究评估了非传统体育活动计划在在职人群中的适用性。然而，我们发现工作场所的非传统体育活动计划与几个与健康相关的身体素质指标之间存在中度到强的关联，结果表明阻力锻炼优于其他分析的运动干预措施。对于每周至少锻炼3次、持续超过8周的员工，低强度高重复次数的阻力锻炼似乎对肌肉骨骼疾病、工作表现和与健康相关的生活质量有积极影响。在安全方面，筛查方案应采用与健康相关的问卷，采用渐进式训练负荷，并根据个体参与者的需求制定训练计划。因此，实施旨在提高与健康相关的身体素质并抵消工作场所久坐行为的非传统体育活动计划，对于促进这一易感人群的健康可能至关重要。
