Group Intervention Description unsupervised physical exercise sessions unsupervised physical exercise For the non-supervised group, we will propose climbing the stairs from floor 0 to floor 7 three times during the working day and doing planks and stretching exercises outside of work. For the latter, an educational session will be given at the beginning of the study to explain how to perform them correctly. supervised physical exercise sessions supervised physical exercise sessions Participants assigned to the supervised exercise group will perform a supervised routine of approximately 30 minutes, 2 days per week (Monday and Wednesday at the Txagorritxu hospital, and Tuesday and Thursday at the Santiago hospital from 7:15 to 7:45 and from 15:15 to 15:45).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Perceived Stress at six months Perceived stress scale-PSS. PSS scores are obtained by inverting the responses (e.g. 0 = 4, 1 = 3, 2 = 2, 3 = 1 and 4 = 0) to the four positive items (items 4, 5, 7 and 8) and then adding up all the points on the scale.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method glycosylated hemoglobin at six months glycosylated hemoglobin
work absenteeism at six months work absenteeism
lipid profile at six months Colesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides
Short Form Survey_Mental health at six months Mental component of the SF12 questionnaire. For each of the 8 dimensions, the items are coded, aggregated and transformed into a scale ranging from 0 (worst health status for that dimension) to 100 (best health status). The number of response options ranges from three to six, depending on the item.
Weight at six months Weight
Short Form Survey_Physical condition at six months Physical component of the SF12 questionnaire. For each of the 8 dimensions, the items are coded, aggregated and transformed into a scale ranging from 0 (worst health status for that dimension) to 100 (best health status). The number of response options ranges from three to six, depending on the item.
Body mass index at six months Body mass index
Goldberg anxiety questionnaire at six months Goldberg anxiety questionnaire. This questionnaire has a total of 9 items. A score greater than or equal to 4 is indicative of anxiety.
Ruffier index at six months The Ruffier test is a test performed to measure short-term aerobic endurance and cardiac recovery capacity, and therefore the level of physical fitness in individuals. An index below 0 indicates a good physical condition. Its average value is between 5 and 10. Above 10 the patient is considered to have a poor adaptation to exertion.
