Brief Summary

This study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise at workplace for manual material handling workers. This is a randomized control trial study by cluster with three parallel groups (n=200). Participants will be randomized in three groups: (1) control group - will be receive ergonomics orientation . (2) Intervention group - exercise at workplace four times per week, during 15 minutes; (3) Intervention group 2 - exercise at workplace three times per week, during 15 minutes.Outcomes: The outcome measure will be verified in three moments at baseline, in six and eleven months of the intervention. The primary outcome is pain, electromyography. Secondary outcome is palmar dynamometer, BMI, physical activity level.

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The workers will be receive orientation about manual material handling, postural and low back care (lecture and guidance).

Intervention group 1

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The workers will be receive orientation about manual material handling, postural and low back care (lecture and guidance), and will perform exercise at workplace three times per week, during 15 minutes

Other: Exercise at workplace - Four times per week

Intervention group 2

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The workers will be receive orientation about manual material handling, postural and low back care (lecture and guidance) and and will perform exercise at workplace four times per week, during 15 minutes.

Other: Exercise at workplace - Three times per week

Interventions
