“…In this respect, the frequency that interventions should have to achieve a cost-bene t compensation is not clear in the literature, tending to be around three hours per week. The authors highlight the importance of developing programs based on relevant results that are related to work performance and cognitive improvement (47,48,49,50).…”

Objective: To assess the effect of two supervised physical exercise interventions in the workplace on work capacity, job satisfaction and self-perceived anxiety. Methods: A pre-experimental study was conducted on workers with sedentary occupations from three different companies and sectors: (1) Renewable energy engineering; (2) Insurance and (3) Infrastructure and services. The participants of the first two were administered a supervised physical exercise program at their corporate headquarters in Madrid (PRODET®: n=12; mean age 43.21±7.04 and n=16; mean age 46.59±5.01, respectively). The third company carried out another physical exercise intervention in a single corporate headquarters in Madrid (HASAVI; n=18; mean age 39.25±9.83). A pre- and post-test intragroup analysis was performed on work capacity, job satisfaction and perception of anxiety. Results: The PRODET® program in the company (1) found a significant improvement in work capacity in relation to requirements (p=0.033; η2=0.24) and an increase in psychic vitality (p=0.037; η2= 0.23). In this company, a significant increase was found in the overall score of the work capacity index (p=0.045; η2=0.20). The program also improved the perception of satisfaction in relation to remuneration and benefits (p=0.016; η2= 0.19), the perception of satisfaction related to the quality of production (p=0.013; η2=0.21) and the total score of job satisfaction (p=0.016; η2=0.19). There was also a decrease in trait anxiety (p=0.039; η2=0.22). No statistically significant differences were observed in the change of values from pre to post in any other company and program (p>0.05). Conclusions: The PRODET® supervised physical exercise program could influence work capacity and job satisfaction in general.
