Promotion of physical activity-related health competence using digital workplace-based health promotion: a pilot study for office workers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Engaging in health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) can reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases, which is particularly important for office workers with sedentary lifestyles. Therefore, time- and location-independent interventions for increasing HEPA are necessary.

Methods

To achieve long-term changes in HEPA, interventions can be based on physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO). 48 office workers (83% female, 50 ± 8 years) completed an intervention consisting of bi-weekly exercise videos for 5 weeks, supplemented by PAHCO and anatomical education. The participants' HEPA levels were measured using the Physical Activity, Exercise, and Sport Questionnaire (Bewegungs- und Sportaktivität Fragebogen; BSA-F)and a physical activity diary, with foll
