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..
