Brief Summary:
One of the biggest challenges of today is the high stress levels among employees in companies and organizations Physical exercise may be an effective preventive measure for stress-related problems This relatively simple and inexpensive action is believed to be important for increasing and maintaining work ability and reduce the cost of stress-related ill health in the workplace
The aim is to investigate how regular physical exercise affects the individuals ability to mentally and physiologically cope with stress Acute stress physiological responses are measured before and after a 6 -month intervention where 100 untrained individuals are randomized to either regular physical exercise or a control group
The hypothesis is that exercise leads to lesser activation of the individuals stress physiological systems and to an efficient physiological protection system Mental ability to handle stress is also studied as well as possible effects on the brains cognitive functions From a work perspective cognitive impairment due to high exposure to stress is a major problem leading to substantial costs in businesses and organizations as a result of reduced performance and production
We believe that physical activity can alter and mitigate individual stress reactions This study brings new knowledge that can contribute to increased motivation to prioritize physical activity in everyday life The study could also provide evidence for businesses and organizations of the benefits of engaging in interventions and fitness initiatives to facilitateenable increased physical activity in daily life for its employees With an aging population we are expected to work longer which poses a challenge as the ability to manage stress and maintain cognitive abilities decline with age For older employees regular physical activity could be an important factor directly affecting the prospects for a sustainable working life
