简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if short exercise breaks at work can prevent muscle and joint pain in workers. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do strength exercises help workers move better and feel less pain?
Are strength exercises better than stretching exercises for worker health?
Researchers will compare a strength exercise program to a mobility (stretching) program to see which one works better to improve physical health and work ability.
Participants will:
Perform short exercise breaks (5 minutes) at their workplace every day for 8 weeks.
Attend one supervised session per week to learn the exercises.
Complete simple physical tests (like standing up from a chair) and answer surveys about their health at the start and end of the study.
详细描述
This is a quasi-experimental study with parallel assignment. The study evaluates the effectiveness of active pauses (brief workplace exercise interventions) preventing musculoskeletal disorders. Recruitment and intervention are conducted in collaboration with "Recuperación Funcional Gurea S.Coop.Peq" at various companies in the Basque Country.
Group Allocation:
Participants are assigned to one of two groups based on their work center or worker preference to maximize participation and adherence in a real-world setting.
Interventions:
Both groups follow an 8-week program consisting of daily 5-minute sessions.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental: Strength Training Program
Participants perform a strength-based active pause program (5 minutes). It consists of 4 exercises using body weight and elastic bands targeting shoulder, back, and legs. 1 supervised session/week plus daily autonomous practice for 8 weeks
干预措施: Strength Active Pause (Behavioral)
Active Comparator: Mobility and Stretching Program
Participants perform a traditional mobility and stretching active pause program (5 minutes). It consists of 12 low-intensity exercises mobilizing main joints. 1 supervised session/week plus daily autonomous practice for 8 weeks.
干预措施: Mobility Active Pause (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0), Post-intervention (Week 8), and Follow-up (Week 20).
Participants must stand up and sit down as many times as possible from a chair during a 30-second period to assess lower body functional strength.
次要结局
- Handgrip Strength(Baseline (Week 0), Post-intervention (Week 8), and Follow-up (Week 20))
- Shoulder Abduction Strength(Baseline (Week 0), Post-intervention (Week 8), and Follow-up (Week 20))
- Senior Working Life Questionnaire(Baseline (Week 0), Post-intervention (Week 8), and Follow-up (Week 20))
