Exercise Training on Metabolic Syndrome Severity in Employees
Effects of a Workplace Health Service Program in Employees With Diagnosed Metabolic Syndrome
Hypothesis: An occupational 6 months physical exercise training will lead to better health behaviour and improve the severity of the metabolic syndrome.
312 subjects will be assigned to either an intervention or a waiting-control-group. The intervention group will receive instructions with the aim to perform 150 min exercise training per week. Exercise consists of endurance, strength and coordination training. A feedback system guided by sports scientists will be installed for all subjects in the intervention group using activity monitoring (wearable). After 6 months training subjects from the intervention group will be assigned to one of the following groups for follow-up observation from month 6 to months 12:
- training with personal/individual feedback from sport scientist
- training with automated feedback using activity monitoring Tools (wearable)
- training without further feedback Subjects assigned to the control group will be provided with information on low intensity motion exercises. After 6 months in the control group subjects will be provided with the same exercise intervention as the intervention for a duration of 6 months.
Study visits will be conducted at month 0, month 6, month 12, and a long-term follow-up at month 24..

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Exercise training group
The intervention group will be encouraged to perform 150 min of exercise training per week for 6 months.
Subjects will be provided with individual feedback and exercise Training prescriptions.
After month 6 subjects will be randomized to three different groups for follow-up observation.
|
Exercise training will consist of 3 - 6 sessions per week and will cumulate in 150 min net exercise time per week. Heart rates during exercise sessions will be monitored with the aim of physical activities at moderate-intensity. Exercises will be individualized to reach the best possible improvements to the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. Possible disciples will include but are not limited to: cycling, rowing (ergometer), swimming, walking, nordic-walking, running, arm-cycle-ergometer or cross-trainer as well as fitness courses offered from occupational or private providers. Everyday activities which reach an effective heart rate range can account for exercise training on a home-based basis . Advise on complementary individual strength and coordination exercises will be added to the training program. A nutrition analyses will be completed by every subject to account for special needs of the metabolic syndrome. |
No Intervention: Waiting-control group
The control group will be provided with general informations on a healthy lifestyle.
After 6 months wait-list-control months subjects will receive the guided exercise training intervention for 6 months.
