Company-level assessments and organizational policy recommendations for the promotion of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness Journal Article uri icon
Overview
abstract
  • Habitual physical activity and resulting cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is beneficial to the health and well-being of workers (1,2). It also should be noted, however, that additional benefits accrue to employers when employees are active, less sedentary, and fit. Employers should not merely rely on programs that attempt to improve levels of physical activity through individually focused behavior change initiatives alone. Rather, at the same time, employers should create environments that promote physical activity, reduce sedentary behavior, and optimize CRF. Doing so has been identified with myriad company benefits.
