SELFIT: Effect of Individualized Training Versus Non-individualized Training to Improve Quality of Life of Sedentary Employees
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The practice of a physical activity, even moderate, plays an important role in the prevention and the management of the main chronic non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis ...) as well as by improving psychological health. Several studies have shown that physical activity has a positive impact on the economy of companies via the reduction of absenteeism and the improvement of productivity. However, it seems important to individualize these recommendations in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity for each individual. In this project, the investigators want to test the physical qualities of employees in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life.

Detailed Description
Physical activity (PA) is one of the major determinants of health. Indeed, the practice of a physical activity, even moderate, plays an important role in the prevention and the management of the main chronic non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis ...) as well as by improving psychological health. The effects are beneficial regardless of age, gender and state of health. Moreover, in addition to the well-being of employees, several studies have shown that physical activity has a positive impact on the economy of companies via the reduction of absenteeism and the improvement of productivity. Today, the World Health Organization (WHO) prescribes 150 min of physical activity per week regardless of the person's profile (active employee, employee working in his office, construction worker, etc.).. In this project,the investigators therefore want to test the physical qualities of employees in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life.

| Experimental: Individualized exercise group (IND) Group with adapted and personalized exercises (IND).The IND group will perform strength, aerobic or flexibility exercises depending on their needs observed during the first assessment. |
Other: Performing on their needs
The IND group will perform strength, aerobic or flexibility exercises depending on their needs observed during the first assessment.

| Active Comparator: Traditional exercise group (CLA) Group with traditional exercise (CLA). The CLA group will perform exercises following WHO (World Health Organization) prescription. |
Other: Performing following WHO (World Health Organization)
The CLA group will perform exercises following WHO (World Health Organization) prescription

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- SF-12 Score [At 6 months]
The primary outcome is a change in Short Form 12 (SF-12) score from baseline to 6 months of exercise intervention for the 2 groups (IND and CLA). Physical component scored between 0-72 Mental component scored between 0-70 For each component 0 mean a worse outcome
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max in ml/kg/min) [At 6 months]
Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max in ml/kg/min) during a sub-maximum exercise on an ergometric bike from baseline to 6 months of exercise intervention for both groups.
Other Outcome Measures
- Power of the lower limbs of employees in watt (W) [At 6 months]
Measurement of the power (in W) developed during the realization of 2 sprints of a duration of 8 seconds interspersed by 2 minutes of recovery on the same ergonomic bicycle from baseline to 6 months of exercise intervention for both groups
- Grip force in Newton (N) [At 6 months]
Grip force evaluated in Newton (N) by the dynamometer (or handgrip) from baseline to 6 months of exercise intervention for both groups.
- Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F) [At 6 months]
The perceived fatigue of employees will be assessed (from baseline to 6 months of exercise intervention for both groups) using the FACIT-F scale Scored between 0 and 52 A score below 34 means that the subject experiences significant fatigue in daily life, potentially impacting his quality of life.
