Investigating the Effectiveness of Exercise Coaching on the Physical Activity Behavior of Physically Inactive Employees in a Company in Flanders: a Randomized Control Trial.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate if and how a physical activity counselor can offer an added value in exercise promotion in physically inactive employees.
We will explore if the physical activity counselor in the workplace setting can motivate sedentary employees to engage into systematic participation in sports and/or exercise by means of a short term coaching of 12 weeks.
We aim to include 300 employees in the physical activity coaching process.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Being physically active on a regular basis has many health benefits.
Nevertheless, the majority of the Belgian population doesn't reach the recommended amount and intensity of physical activity to profit from these health benefits.
A physical activity counselor can possibly play a crucial role for these physically inactive individuals.
He/she can design an individualized exercise program to stimulate the person to become lifelong physical active.
Research has shown that exercise promotion at work can result in a lower absenteeism, prevention of burn-out and a positive corporate identity.

Eksperimentel: Physical Activity Coaching
Physically inactive employees receiving a 12-week behavioural support intervention grounded in self-determination theory.
|
After measuring physical actity, physical fitness level, anthropometric and psychosocial variables a personalized 12 week physical activity program is made (=baseline).
The intervention consisted of two face-to-face counselling sessions at the start of the intervention, short contacts by e-mail or telephone at weeks 3, 6 and 9, and two face-to-face counselling sessions at the end of the intervention.
Employees exercise on their own.
After 12 weeks and 6 months all measures are repeated.
