简要总结
A study to assess the feasibility of a 12-week exercise intervention aiming at improving the physical capacity and health of wind technicians.
it was hypothesized that the intervention would be well-accepted by workers and show high compliance and clinically relevant increases in physical capacities among wind technicians.
详细描述
One-arm feasibility study, including a within-group control period, to test compliance, practicality, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of implementing intelligent physical exercise training (IPET) in the offshore wind industry among wind technicians. The exercise program was individually tailored based on the findings from a pre-screening health and physical capacity check and the occupational demands of wind technicians. Primary outcomes were compliance, adherence, adverse events and satisfaction. Secondary outcomes were physical capacity and musculoskeletal disorders. Prior to the feasibility study, intervention mapping was used as a theoretical tool to plan the intervention. The intervention consisted of 1-hour weekly individually tailored exercise training during working hours. Exercise sessions were supervised during the first 8 weeks of the intervention and self-administered the last 4 weeks. The design included a 6 month control period prior to initiating the intervention. Thus, included technicians (n:24) had their health and physical capacity assessed 6 months prior to intervention start (T1), at intervention start (T2) and 12 weeks after (T3) and they responded to questionnaires on musculoskeletal symptoms at all three occasions. Further, a questionnaire customized to the specific intervention was distributed to all technicians 8 weeks after intervention start to assess satisfaction with the exercise program.

结局指标
主要结局
Compliance
时间窗: From T2 to T3 (three months)
The appointed supervisors tracked compliance during the first 8 weeks of the exercise intervention (192 possible sessions) on behalf of all participants. Compliance was recorded if a WT attended the planned (and facilitated) session and is reported in percentage of possible sessions. During the last four weeks (self-administered exercise), participants were asked to report attendance in a similar way by phone to the supervisor or health and safety representative or by filling out a record located at the onshore facility. Missing reportings were interpreted as non-compliance.
Acceptability
时间窗: One time after 8 weeks (between T2 and T3)
Acceptability with the on-site part of the intervention was evaluated after the first 8 weeks using a survey customised to the intervention and to the specific target group. Questions concerned overall acceptability and satisfaction with workplace exercise programmes in general and the specific content of this intervention. Responses were reported on a 5-point Likert scale (from "Strongly disagree" to Strongly agree")
Adherence
时间窗: From T2 to T3 (three months)
The appointed supervisors tracked adherence during the first 8 weeks of the exercise intervention (192 possible sessions) on behalf of all participants. Adherence was reached and reported if the WT completed the exercise programme as prescribed, meaning that they did not deviate from the structure of the individual exercise programme (exercise selection (or approved alternative exercises), volume and intensity). Adherence is reported in percentage of possible sessions. During the last four weeks (self-administered exercise), participants were asked to report attendance in a similar way by phone to the supervisor or health and safety representative or by filling out a record located at the onshore facility. Missing reportings were interpreted as non-adherence.
Adverse events
时间窗: From T2 to T3 (three months)
Supervisors were asked to record mild (e.g. soreness beyond expected levels) and serious adverse events (safety related incidents, e.g. dropped objects and sprains/strains associated with conducting the exercises) related to the training sessions. Adverse events were reported in absolute numbers.
