In addition to anthropometric and biomedical benefits that have been previously observed, psychosocial benefits also appear to be associated with participation in this four-month, pedometer-based, physical activity, workplace health program.
The aim of this paper is to identify participant characteristics associated with improved waist circumference (WC) following participation in a four-month, pedometer-based, physical activity, workplace health program.
A more recent review by Chu et. al [ 79] also identified only a few studies assessing general well-being as an outcome of physical activity workplace interventions, which did not provide evidence of a benefit.
The current literature indicates that physical activity workplace interventions are not effective for specifically addressing workers' sedentary behaviour and also highlights a paucity of workplace interventions that focus specifically on reducing workers' sitting time [ 13].
A common approach was proposed to collect data by means of personal interview with a sample of facility-based health care providers on a number of topics, including professional qualifications, demographic characteristics, work activities, workplace conditions and remuneration [ 10].
Currently, Belgian OHS practice in general includes a broad list of preventive activities: workplace surveys, provision of information, counselling, health examinations, risk assessment, maintenance of first-aid skills, etc.
Previous studies dealing with professional cooks also reported that job-related factors such as work activities, workplace conditions in the kitchen, and inappropriate cooking equipment increased the risk of LBP [ 16, 19, 20, 32, 38].
We investigated the following risk factors among men and women: age, smoking habits, physical activities, sleeping habits, eating habits, work activities, workplace environment conditions in the kitchen, job satisfaction, stress at work, family-related stress, financial constraints, health-related problems, and worries about the future.
The term "Baby-Friendly" is not appropriately applied to other medical services, community activities, workplaces or commercial products.
To present the development and feasibility testing of a sociocultural environmental change intervention strategy aimed at integrating physical activity into workplace routine.
Each offender's daily awareness space is defined by routine activity locations home, workplace, school, shopping, and recreation as well as by the routes linking these locations.
