Title: Danish: Integreret Motion på Arbejdspladsen (IRMA) English: Implementation of Exercise at the Workplace
Brief Summary: Many adults find it difficult to perform physical exercise during leisure. The workplace may provide an optimal setting to encourage a healthier lifestyle. This study investigates the effect of daily stair walking at the workplace on cardiovascular health.

The main hypothesis is that daily stair walking for 10 weeks compared with a control group results in increased aerobic fitness.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* office worker

Exclusion Criteria:

* life threatening disease
* pregnancy
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Essential hypertension grade 1 - 2 without medical treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

* End organ damage
* Two or more cardiovascular risk factors
* Diabetes
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have PAD
* Potential participants with a resting ABI greater than or equal to 0.91 and less than or equal to 1.00 at their baseline visit will be eligible if their ABI drops by at least 20% after the heel-rise test. Potential participants with a resting baseline ABI greater than 0.91 who do not meet criteria for inclusion based on the heel-rise test can be eligible if they have data from a certified non-invasive vascular laboratory that demonstrates presence of lower extremity ischemia. However, more evidence than an abnormal PVR from the non-invasive vascular laboratory is required (for example, a toe brachial index pressure less than 0.60). Finally, potential participants who do not meet the above criteria for inclusion will be eligible if they have an angiogram demonstrating greater than 50% stenosis on one or more lower extremity arterial vessels.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Below or above knee amputation
* Wheelchair confinement
* Uses a walking aid other than a cane (e.g., walker)
* Unable to return to the medical center at the required visit frequency
* Greater than Class II New York Heart Association heart failure or angina (symptoms at rest or with minimal exertion)
* Any increase in angina pectoris symptoms during the 6 months before study entry or angina at rest
* Presence of a foot ulcer
* Lower extremity revascularization or major orthopedic surgery during the 3 months before study entry
* Heart attack or coronary artery bypass grafting during the 3 months before study entry
* Major medical illnesses, including treatment for cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer) during the 12 months before study entry
* Planned lower extremity revascularization within the 12 months after study entry
* Current participation in another clinical trial
* Walking for exercise at a level comparable to that targeted in the study's intervention
* Completion of a cardiac rehabilitation program within 3 months before study entry
* Coronary ischemia during exercise, defined as ST segment depression greater than 1 mm during the baseline exercise treadmill test, with or without associated chest discomfort
* Left-bundle branch block or significant ST-T wave changes on the baseline ECG without a perfusion stress test, demonstrating no reversible ischemia within the 3 months before study entry
* Stopping during the treadmill exercise stress test because of chest pain, shortness of breath, hip or knee arthritis. These individuals will be interviewed by the principal investigator and will be excluded only if it is determined that their walking performance (based in part on the treadmill test) is limited by a comorbidity other than leg ischemia.
* Unable to walk at least 50 feet without stopping during the 6-minute walk test
* Stopping during the 6-minute walk test for symptoms other than ischemic leg symptoms
* Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) score of less than 23 or psychiatric illness
* Failure to complete a study run-in period
* Parkinson's disease
* Requires oxygen with exertion.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* physically inactive, i.e. takes less than 8,000 steps per day at baseline
* registered at the participating general practice,
* over 18 years of age,
* regular email user, and willing to use email for the purpose of the study,
* has a home computer with access to the Internet.

Exclusion Criteria:

* medical or psychiatric condition which the general practitioner considers as inappropriate for participating in the intervention (e.g., terminal illness, psychotic illness, chronic disorders or diseases that seriously influence the ability to be physically active, dementia or significant cognitive impairment, unable to move about independently),
* medical, personal of family condition which the general practitioner considers temporarily affects mean daily step count at baseline (e.g., acute illness, holiday or business trip),
* pregnant woman,
* currently engaging in regular sports or exercise (at least twice a week),
* failure to upload pedometer data to a website at baseline assessment,
* failure to give informed consent with the study.
