Changes in work affect in response to lunchtime walking in previously physically inactive employees: A randomized trial

Abstract: Physical activity may regulate affective experiences at work, but controlled studies are needed and there has been a reliance on retrospective accounts of experience. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of lunchtime walks on momentary work affect at the individual and group levels. Physically inactive employees (N = 56; M age = 47.68; 92.86% female) from a large university in the UK were randomized to immediate treatment or delayed treatment (DT). The DT participants completed both a con… Show more

“…Most studies (N=17) (24,25,(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47) were conducted in Europe, the rest in North America (48,49), Japan (50,51), and Australia (52). The workplace settings varied from employees working in office/having administrative tasks (N=10) (34,35,37,38,41,43,(47)(48)(49)52), to health personnel in hospitals/nursing homes (N=5) (25,33,44,46,50), to laboratory technicians (N=2) (39,42), to other manual job settings or workplaces with a mix of work tasks (N=5) (24,36,40,45,51). Sample size ranged from 24-860 participants, with a total of 4010 participants throughout the studies.…”

“…Sample size ranged from 24-860 participants, with a total of 4010 participants throughout the studies. The majority of studies (N=12) (25,33,34,36,38,40,42,43,46,(50)(51)(52) were based on healthy workers, three studies (24,39,48) examined workers with musculoskeletal problems, three studies (41,45,49) looked at sedentary/physical inactive workers, two studies (35,47) included workers with light mental health complaints, one study (37) looked at workers with both mental and/or musculoskeletal complaints, and another (44) examined high aged workers. The exercise interventions consisted of a wide range of different exercises offered from 6-86 weeks (21 months), with most studies offering an intervention period ranging from 8-12 weeks (24, 25, 33-37, 39, 47, 48, 50-52) N=13.…”
