Methods: Two hundred ninety-five employees volunteered to participate (n=191 women, n=104 men), aged 38 ± 8 years and body mass index (BMI), 24.71 ± 3.79. Measures of physical activity levels were assessed by the long self-administrated version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form (IPAQ-L), and all subjects performed a maximal cardiopulmonary treadmill graded exercise test. Blood samples and anthropometry measures were collected from participants at baseline survey, at 6 months and 1-year after.
