The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility and acceptance of using a pedometer-driven walking intervention programme, together with educational material and email support to increase ambulatory activity and improve health-related outcomes in a population of meat processing workers when compared to a control group from the same working population receiving educational material alone.
The primary aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of using a pedometer-based intervention to increase physical activity and improve health-related outcomes in a population of meat processing workers.
The primary aims of this study were to examine the feasibility of using a pedometer-based walking intervention, incorporating a brief intervention, along with educational material and email support to increase ambulatory activity and improve health-related outcomes in a population of meat processing workers when compared to a control group receiving educational material alone.
The primary aims of this study are to examine whether a pedometer-driven walking programme, incorporating a brief intervention, along with an educational material can improve health-related quality of life, and increase ambulatory activity in a population of meat processing workers when compared to a control group receiving educational material alone.

Today they compose the majority of South Omaha's Hispanic population and many have taken jobs in meat processing.
The kinetic and growth parameters obtained from this study can be used in evaluating growth of C. perfringens from spore populations during dynamically changing temperature conditions such as those encountered in meat processing.
The infection rate among abattoir workers, pig breeders, meat processing workers, and veterinarians is ≈3 cases/1,500×0 (1,500× higher than the rate for the general population) (2 ).
Although pedometer-driven walking has been increasingly investigated as a management strategy for chronic disease and workplace populations, there has been no previous study of their use as an intervention for meat processing workers.
I spent hours in meat processing plants.
