PET effects on physical fitness in  healthy workers  are moderated by age ( CRF ) and occupation type ( muscular endurance ) .
Further , independently computed subgroup analyses indicated that the training period of the PET programs may play an important role in improving CRF in workers
There is evidence that physical exercise training ( PET ) conducted at the workplace is effective in improving physical fitness and thus health .
However , there is no current systematic review available that provides high-level evidence regarding the effects of PET on physical fitness in the workforce .
To quantify sex- , age- , and occupation type-specific effects of PET on physical fitness and to characterize dose – response relationships of PET modalities that could maximize gains in physical fitness in the working population .
Normative values for musculoskeletal- and neuromotor fitness in apparently healthy Norwegian adults and the association with obesity: a cross-sectional study
Background Up-to- date research on musculoskeletal- and neuromotor fitness ( MSMF ) is lacking . The aims of the present paper were to a ) establish normative values of MSMF by gender and age , and b ) to assess how much of the variance in MSMF can be explained by obesity in adults . Methods A r and om selection of 726 Norwegians ( 20–65 years ) participated in a national cross-sectional study . Muscular endurance , muscular strength , explosive power , flexibility and balance were assessed in addition to  waist circumference ( WC ) . Results Females displayed significantly higher scores compared to males on muscular endurance of the back extensors and on the flexibility tests ( p < 0.001 ) . Males displayed significantly higher scores than females ( p < 0.001 ) on h and grip strength , modified push-ups , and explosive power . An inverse association was found between age and all MSMF scores for females ( Beta:−0.06–(−0.92 ) , p ≤ 0.044 ) and males ( Beta:−0.15–(0.91 ) , p ≤ 0.006 ) , where younger participants displayed higher test scores on all MSMF tests , compared to older participants . Furthermore , participants showing higher scores on WC displayed lower scores on the following MSMF tests for both females and males : muscular endurance of the back extensors , balance , flexibility of the shoulder , and explosive power ( p < 0.001 ) . Additionally , male participants with higher WC scores showed lower scores on muscular endurance of the upper body and flexibility of the hamstrings compared to males with lower WC scores ( p < 0.001 ) . Conclusions The data provide normative values of MSMF for adults based on age and gender , and support an inverse relationship of MSMF to age and WC
