The problem: physical inactivity 1 million deaths/year in Europe 2/3 of the adult population (15+ years) do not reach recommended levels of activity (30 minutes/day on most week days) – WHO, 2011 Loss of 5.3 million years of healthy lives(Cavill et al. 2006) Leading health risk factor of: heart diseases, diabetes, cancer, depression Nottingham, 9/04/2011 © Marco Bardus, ICIeF 11 12. Benefits of physical activity INDIVIDUAL HEALTHprevent and manage chronic disease,reduce overweight and obesity, benefit other health problems (e.g. pain of arthritis, stress and anxiety, etc.) HEALTHCARE SYSTEM Fewer physician visits, hospitalizations and medications= less costs (Cavill et al., 2006; CDC, 2007) Nottingham, 9/04/2011 © Marco Bardus, ICIeF 12 14. Why workplaces? Promising setting for WHPP (Pronk et al., 2009) 60% of waking hours spent at work Key government policies (DH, 2004; Black, 2008) Nottingham, 9/04/2011 © Marco Bardus, ICIeF 14 15. General benefits for workplaces Improved overall health (reduced overweight & obesity) Positive impact on stress, back pain, mental health Increased productivity and lower rates of absenteeism Quicker return to work after illness; fewer injuries, less illnesses Improvements in communications, morale and working atmosphere Positive corporate image Nottingham, 9/04/2011 © Marco Bardus, ICIeF 15 Confirmed by Buck Consultant’s 2nd Global Wellness Survey, November 2010 16.

Mainfindings: BL-FUP comparison POSITIVE Positive significant increase injob-related (p=.021) and leisure-time PA (p<.001) between pre- and post-test Significant decrease in time spent sitting (p=.034), but only for control group Low attrition (6%) 2/3 highly satisfied with the programme Constant high motivation levels for PA participation PROBLEMATIC Low survey response rates, comparable with other studies Low participation Over-reporting in PA levels (IPAQ-L issue) 1/3 did not read all messages 50 Nottingham, 9/04/2011 © Marco Bardus, ICIeF Careful! Further investigation is needed! 72. Problemsencountered MAIN PROBLEMS Low participation Low survey response POSSIBLE CAUSES Environmental: H1N1, seasonality Organisational: Other ongoing WHPP Low endorsement Individual: time, workload, other priorities Technical: firewalls, computer access Promotion: low budget 53 Nottingham, 9/04/2011 © Marco Bardus, ICIeF HRA (i.e. high resp. burden) Survey instrument 75. Possible improvements 1) Customer orientation. Design and develop the intervention with worksites. More thorough formative research 2) Exchange. Tangible incentives => fairer exchange 3) Competition. Thorough analysis of all forms of competition (competing behaviors, barriers, other programmes, etc.) 4) Segmentation. Appropriate target segmentation 77. Discussion: some open questions Is the intervention reaching those most in need? How much communication is needed? Why some people subscribe (or not)?
