- Brief Summary
Studies show that exercise resistance in workplace can reduce the symptoms of induced labor, however, the effectiveness of such programs depends on the characteristics of the training fatigue. Thus, it is expected that this study the intervention group with training heavy using progressive resistance exercise protocol will be better in reducing fatigue when compare with light training group.
- Detailed Description
Background: This study is randomized clinical trial with double-blinded. The aim is evaluate the effectiveness the training heavy with resistance exercise program in the muscle fatigue control. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial by cluster, in which workers who participate in the intervention group will perform resistance exercise protocols; and workers in the comparative group held only stretching exercises and light resistance training with elastic bands. Expected results: strong evidence that fatigue reducing after ten weeks in workers and improve in others outcomes. Not found in literature studies in occupational evaluating this aspect of training.

Group Intervention Description Compensatory Workplace Exercise (CWE) Compensatory Workplace Exercise (CWE) - Comparative Group Comparative Group will receive a light training protocol including warming up, stretching and resisted exercise using elastic bands. Individual Resistance Exercise (IRE) Individual Resistance Exercise (IRE) - Intervention Group Intervention group will receive training protocol including warming up, stretching a specific resistance training with increase progressive load.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Need for Recovery up to 4 months Psychosocial risk factors and stress, resulting in work-induced fatigue, will be obtained by e Need for Recovery Scale (NFR).
Fatigue up to 4 months 1 RM test is the maximum amount of weight lifted once while performing a standardized exercise for muscle groups - elbow , knee and ankle flexors and extensors, trunk. A weight according to the maximum capacity is chosen. If a replay is completed, find the value of 1RM.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Musculoskeletal symptoms Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and after 4 months. Musculoskeletal symptoms (pain, tingling or numbness) will be assessed using the Nordic Questionnaire for Musculoskeletal.
Level of physical activity Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and after 4 months. Questionnaire Baeck will be used to identify the level of habitual physical activity
Perceived exposure Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and after 4 months. The perception of workers risk factors that may contribute to the development of musculoskeletal complaints will be evaluated through the Job Factors Questionnaire.
Physical Fitness Assessment Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and after 4 months. The physical assessment will be consider adipometry (body fat percentage) others variables.
Productivity Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and after 4 months. Productivity is measured by a single item General Health Questionnaire and Performance at Work
