Brief Summary

In this study, it investigates the effectiveness of workplace physical activity intervention for staff in a 100-bed hospital in Taipei City, Taiwan. The physical activity program takes group coaching and includes aerobic exercise, muscle strength and stretching in combination with nutrition education. The duration of the program is three months (8 sessions per month). The subjects of the study were recruited from full-time employees working at the hospital who attend the program. The recruited employees can take part in the program freely and chose types of activity by themselves. This study measures body mass index, muscle strength, body fat percentage, muscle strength, body mass index, daily energy expenditure, and exercise self-efficacy as the baseline. After 3-month program, we will evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The result is anticipated the greater frequent attendance, the more obvious effectiveness in outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Change from Baseline Body fat percentage at 3 months

  Body fat percentage was the total mass of fat divided by total body mass, multiplied by 100. Estimate for body fat percentage was measured by dual frequency bio-electric impedance(BIA) body composition analyzer.

  baseline, 3 month after intervention

• Change from Baseline Muscle strength at 3 months

  Muscle strength was assessed by hand grip strength using a grip strength dynamometer. The grip strength dynamometer can measure range from 5 to 100 kg. During the measurement, the subject stood upright and was asked to hold the grip with the dynamometer with the greatest strength. Take the maximum value after two measurements.

  baseline, 3 month after intervention

• Change from Baseline exercise self-efficacy at 3 months

  The five-item self-efficacy questionnaire designed to measure confidence in one's ability to persist with exercising in various situations which included the following: tired, bad mood, don't have the time, on vacation, raining or snowing. An 7-point scale was used to rate each item of self-efficacy, scores range from 5 "not at all confident" to 35 "very confident". A score of 0 means "extremely low self-efficacy" and a score of 35 means" "extremely high self efficacy"
