“…Both blue-and white-collar workers were investigated in the studies. Two of the randomized controlled trials evaluated the effect of physical activity programs at worksites using white-collar employees (51,53), another randomized controlled trial used both white-and blue-collar employees (52,56,57), while the study of Oden et al (55) investigated the effect using blue-collar subjects. Also, among the controlled trials, both blue-and white-collar employees were investigated.…”

“…In addition, the method of measuring productivity differed among the studies in that some used subjective ratings (52,56), while others used objective measures of productivity (49,50,55,56,58). Rosenfeld et al (56) evaluated the effectiveness on both objective and subjective measures of productivity.…”

“…Rosenfeld et al (56) evaluated the effectiveness on both objective and subjective measures of productivity. Two randomized controlled trials (52,55,56), both of low quality, evaluated the effect of a physical activity program at worksites on productivity. The study described by Halfon et al (52) and Rosenfeld et al (56) found significantly higher ratings of perceived work efficiency in the physical activity group than in the reference group.…”

Samenvatting Dit artikel is het eerste van een reeks van vier artikelen waarin een overzicht wordt gegeven van de beschikbaarheid en effectiviteit van primaire preventieeerstelijnsleefstijlinterventies die toepasbaar zijn in de bedrijfsgezondheidszorg. Dit artikel gaat in op het leefstijlthema 'bewegen'. Op basis van literatuuronderzoek is geconcludeerd dat bewegingsstimuleringsinterventies een positief effect hebben op een aantal gezondheidsgerelateerde variabelen, zoals de mate van lichamelijke activiteit, het ae¨roob uithoudingsvermogen en het percentage lichaamsvet. Indien het programma tevens gericht is op het bewegingsapparaat, leidt het over het algemeen tot een vermindering van klachten aan het bewegingsapparaat. Voor het effect op werkgerelateerde variabelen, zoals bijvoorbeeld ziekteverzuim, ontbreekt een bewijs mede vanwege gebrek aan onderzoeken met een goede onderzoeksopzet. Op basis van gesprekken met veldpartijen bleek dat interventies ter stimulering van bewegen weliswaar ontwikkeld en ingezet worden, maar dat deze niet structureel gee¨valueerd worden. Arbodiensten zetten bewegen niet of nauwelijks in ten behoeve van primaire preventie. Bij het realiseren van de intentie van de NVAB om leefstijlinterventies vaker in te laten zetten door de bedrijfsarts, dient dit beleidsdoel dan ook goed gecommuniceerd te worden met bedrijfsartsen. Op basis van het thans nieuwe inzicht is het mogelijk dat er richtlijnen ontwikkeld worden voor diverse typen van interventies ter stimulering van bewegen, die haalbaar zijn voor toepassing in de werksetting.

PurposeThis study assessed the effects of a worksite aerobic exercise intervention among cleaners on: work ability, need for recovery, productivity, and rating of exertion.MethodsIn a monocentric randomised controlled trial in Denmark, 116, of 250 invited, cleaners were cluster-randomised (work location; sex; age; length of service) to aerobic exercise [N = 57, 44.9 years, 75.4% female, body mass index (BMI) 26.2], receiving 2 weekly aerobic exercise sessions during 12 months, or a reference group (N = 59, 45.7 years, 76.3% female, BMI 27.1), receiving health-promoting lectures. Self-reported data on outcomes and sociodemographic information were collected at baseline, and at 4 and 12 month follow-up. All outcomes were analysed in a linear repeated-measures 2 × 2 mixed-model by an intention-to-treat analysis approach.ResultsDrop-out was 26 and 33% at 4 and 12 months, respectively. Aerobic exercise adherence was 51% during the first 4 months. At 4 month follow-up no effects were found. At 12 month follow-up, work ability significantly increased by 0.59 on a 0–10 scale (95% CI 0.05–1.13) and need for recovery significantly decreased by − 11.0 on a 0–100 scale (95% CI − 19.8 to − 2.2) in the aerobic exercise group compared to the reference group. Productivity and rating of exertion were unaltered. Analysis stratified on age showed significant effects only among the participants aged ≤ 45 years.ConclusionsAfter 12 months work ability improved and need for recovery decreased. A period of 4 months was insufficient to affect these outcomes emphasising that longer interventions may be needed to induce effects on work ability and need for recovery.
