Aging causes various changes in the body. This, together with a sedentary lifestyle, can lead to health problems such as loss of muscle mass and strength, bone mineral density and cardiovascular capacity. Therefore, it is essential to remain physically active in adulthood. Outdoor fitness equipment offer a free and easy-to-use option for physical activity and health improvement. However, there are few studies that quantitatively evaluate the physical fitness and health improvement associated with the use of these parks. Hence, the main objective is: 1) To evaluate the effects of training on outdoor fitness equipment on different body composition and health-related fitness parameters.

The group offered the preventive health check in 2013-14 will constitute the intervention group and the group examined in 2017 - 18 the control group. A follow up of the intervention group in 2017 - 18 will provide data for the intention to treat analysis revealing the effect. Outcome measures are level of physical activity, risk of getting cardiovascular disease, sick leave and labor market attachment.
