简要总结
Despite innate knowledge of the benefits of regular physical activity, healthcare workers are just as physically inactive as the general population. Physical activity interventions delivered at the workplace seem perfect to improve the health of this large population.
The aim of the study is to deliver an efficacious, minimal time impost training program targeted at optimising health benefit while overcoming time-related barriers to initial uptake of regular exercise.
详细描述
To evaluate the effectiveness of a 4-week, easily accessible, time-optimised exercise program (ROPES - Rapid Optimisation of Performance Enhancement and Skill) for healthcare workers.
60 staff recruited from Singapore General Hospital (SGH) will be randomly assigned into 2 groups, CONTROL or ROPES group. The ratio to intervention and control group is at 1:1. The staff will be assigned to each group respectively.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control
30 participants will be randomised into the CONTROL group and will continue to perform their normal activities. They will only be required to keep a log of their exercise intensity for each week over the 4-week period and record them on an online diary. The exercise log/diary consists of type of exercise, e.g. resistance or aerobic and duration of exercise session.
ROPES
The intervention is a 4-week training exercise program conducted by trained Physiotherapists.
干预措施: ROPES Training Programme (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Physical work capacity
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of study at 8 weeks
A standard physical work capacity test based on the linear relationship between heart rate, power output and oxygen consumption will estimate the work capacity. The higher the heart rate, the better the physical work capacity. Minimum value of heart rate is 155 bpm and maximum value is 199 bpm.
次要结局
- Muscular Strength(From enrollment to the end of study at 8 weeks)
- BMI(From enrollment to the end of study at 8 weeks)
- Body Fat(From enrollment to the end of study at 8 weeks)
