Enhancing health and fitness in sedentary desk job workers - A comprehensive workplace exercise intervention

In my study, titled "Enhancing Health and Fitness in Sedentary Desk Job Workers," I aim to explore the impact of a structured workplace exercise program on cardiopulmonary endurance, vital capacity, and overall health among adults aged 30 to 49 with sedentary desk jobs. With a large portion of the workforce in service sectors, prolonged sitting has become a serious health risk, often contributing to decreased productivity, absenteeism, and even mental health impacts. Recognizing this from my review of the literature, my study addresses the need for proactive health measures directly in the workplace. I have acquired the ethical committee approval letter from the Ethics Committee of Dr. Balabhai Nanavati Hospital Mumbai

The study is a quasi-experimental study with 45 participants who will take part in a 6-week program. This program includes both individual sessions that work on components like stretching, endurance exercises, and breathing exercises, and group sessions that help with team building and improving the mental well-being of the participants. Participants will undergo assessments for endurance, and vital capacity, and the health status questionnaire before and after the program. I’ll be analyzing the data using SPSS, with a significance level set at p < 0.05 to understand the program’s impact. This research has the potential to present a practical, time-efficient solution for improving health outcomes among desk job workers without requiring additional gym time or resources.
