Workplace Exercise and Physical Activity Interventions: Exploring the Potential Effectiveness

Sedentary living is prevalent in society, despite evidence on the health benefits of exercise and physical activity. Against this background, the workplace can provide a key setting from which to promote lifestyle health improvement. There are various opportunities, perspectives, and outcomes to be explored in the evaluation of workplace physical activity interventions. This book reflects the complexity of evaluation, using a multi-perspective approach and behavioural theory to explore the potential effectiveness of interventions. The comparison of ?lifestyle? activity messages (moderate intensity) and ?structured? ones (more vigorous intensity) is a major theme. Three methodological approaches are used: a systematic review of evidence, a qualitative study of employer views, and surveys of employee responses to different interventions. The book offers new insight into motivations and barriers relating to potential management support for, and employee participation in, workplace physical activity interventions. It also demonstrates the usefulness of adopting a rigorous exploratory research approach. It is addressed to researchers and decision-makers alike.
