Conditions
Summary
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.
