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.

The originality of this project is to evaluate physical capacities directly within the company of the participants instead of hospital unit.

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.

Interventional
Actual Enrollment :
111 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
After first session evaluation, employees will be randomly assigned to one of the 2 followings groups: (1) group with traditional exercise (CLA) and group with adapted and personalized exercises (IND). The CLA group will perform exercises following World Health Organization (WHO) prescription while the IND group will perform strength, aerobic or flexibility exercises depending on their needs observed during the first assessment. Note that all session evaluations are investigated within the company of the participantAfter first session evaluation, employees will be randomly assigned to one of the 2 followings groups: (1) group with traditional exercise (CLA) and group with adapted and personalized exercises (IND). The CLA group will perform exercises following World Health Organization (WHO) prescription while the IND group will perform strength, aerobic or flexibility exercises depending on their needs observed during the first assessment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
