Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, it investigates the effectiveness of workplace physical activity intervention for staff in a 100-bed hospital in Taipei City, Taiwan. The physical activity program takes group coaching and includes aerobic exercise, muscle strength and stretching in combination with nutrition education. The duration of the program is three months (8 sessions per month). The subjects of the study were recruited from full-time employees working at the hospital who attend the program. The recruited employees can take part in the program freely and chose types of activity by themselves. This study measures body mass index, muscle strength, body fat percentage, muscle strength, body mass index, daily energy expenditure, and exercise self-efficacy as the baseline. After 3-month program, we will evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The result is anticipated the greater frequent attendance, the more obvious effectiveness in outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

A three-month group coaching physical activity program in combination with nutrition education was developed for full-time employees working on a 100-bed hospital in Taipei City, Taiwan. Due to the setting that employees can take part in the program freely and chose types of activity by themselves. So participants may have various intensity of participation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of pre- and post- 3-month workplace physical activity programs in body fat percentage, Muscle strength, body mass index, daily energy expenditure, and exercise self-efficacy. One group pretest-posttest design was used for the study by convenience sampling technique. Subjects were recruited from participants of the program. The intervention consists of : (1)education on nutrition: 2 times per month for 3 months, 1 hour/time ; and (2)physical activity: a three-month group coaching program (24 sessions), including three types of exercise courses such as aerobic exercise, muscle strength and stretching. All analyses were performed using Statistics Analysis System version 9.3 and the effects of the intervention were assessed by the paired t-test. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the contribution of attendances of activities and behavior change stage to effectiveness of workplace physical activity. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
