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 .
Do soccer and Zumba exercise improve fitness and indicators of health among female hospital employees? A 12-week RCT.
This r and omized controlled study investigated the effectiveness of soccer and Zumba on fitness and health indicators in female participants recruited from a workplace . One hundred seven hospital employees were cluster-r and omized to either a soccer group ( SG ) , Zumba group ( ZG ) , or control group ( CG ) . Intervention effects for the two training groups were compared with CG . The training was conducted outside working hours as 2 - 3 1-h sessions per week for 12 weeks . Peak oxygen uptake ( VO2peak ) , fat percentage , fat mass , bone mineral content , and plasma osteocalcin were measured before and after the intervention period . Based on intention-to-treat-analyses , SG significantly improved the VO2peak relative to body mass ( 5 % ; P = 0.02 ) and decreased heart rate during 100-W cycle exercise ( -7 bpm ; P = 0.01 ) , total body fat percentage ( -1.1 % ; P = 0.002 ) , and total body fat mass ( -1.0 kg ; P = 0.001 ) compared with CG . ZG significantly improved the VO2peak relative to body mass ( 5 % ; P = 0.03 ) and decreased total fat mass ( -0.6 kg ; P < 0.05 ) compared with CG . Plasma osteocalcin increased in SG ( 21 % ; P < 0.001 ) and ZG ( 10 % ; P = 0.01 ) compared with CG . The present study indicates that workplace initiated short-term soccer training as well as Zumba outside working hours may result in fitness and modest health benefits among female hospital employees
