Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an extremely time-efficient high-intensity interval training program, performed over a period of six months in a real-world (workplace) setting, on cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiometabolic risk profile, and self-reported outcomes including perceived stress and subjective work ability in previously sedentary employees.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF)

Time Frame: 12 months [Change from Baseline to 6 months and Change from Baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention]

CRF will be assessed by measuring maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max)

Secondary Outcomes

Insulin sensitivity(12 months [Change from Baseline to 6 months and Change from Baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
Inflammation status(12 months [Change from Baseline to 6 months and Change from Baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
Total body water(12 months [Change from baseline to 6 months and change from baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
Metabolic Syndrome Z-Score (MetS-Z-Score)(12 months [Change from Baseline to 6 months and Change from Baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
Fat mass(12 months [Change from baseline to 6 months and change from baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
Pain scores(12 months [Change from Baseline to 6 months and Change from Baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
Perceived stress(12 months [Change from Baseline to 6 months and Change from Baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
Subjective work ability(12 months [Change from Baseline to 6 months and Change from Baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
Health-related quality of life(12 months [Change from Baseline to 6 months and Change from Baseline to 6 months after the end of the intervention])
