“…However, only a limited number of randomized controlled trails of high quality was identified regarding physical activity (6). To mention positive findings among office workers, a 10-week aerobic training program was found to have a significant effect on neck pain among employees in an insurance company (7). In addition, light resistance training on a daily basis at the worksite reduced the intensity of neck symptoms, but not shoulder symptoms, among office workers (8).…”

“…Additionally, there is low quality of evidence that workplace PA interventions significantly reduce low back (Maul, Läubli, Oliveri, & Krueger, 2005)and arms, elbows, wrists and hands/fingers pain [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. These results can be related with the lack of studies.…”

“…PA interventions) may be more beneficial if they purposively recruit and serve at-risk employees (e.g., to address conditions that may reduce work productivity, absenteeism, and healthcare costs) [24]. Findings from this review highlight the diverse strategies used to improve health and wellbeing in workplace settings.…”

Objectives: To review the effectiveness of Physical Activity (PA) interventions in the workplace to reduce musculoskeletal pain in employees.Methods: Four databases (PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Cochrane) were searched for trials among employees for the period of January 1990 and March 2013, which included comparison groups that assessed physical activity programs, musculoskeletal pain. We examined articles with comparison groups that assessed Physical Activity programs and musculoskeletal pain. Results:We can see in the several studies a significant evidence of pain decrease in intervention groups in studies of general pain and in neck and shoulder pain. The few studies covering low back pain and arms, elbows, wrists, hands or fingers pain do not present sufficient statistical significant evidence. Conclusion:There is consistent evidence that workplace PA interventions significantly reduce general musculoskeletal pain and neck and shoulders pain. More studies are required to provide clarification of the effectiveness of work related PA interventions in musculoskeletal disorders and related pain. leave, costs and prevention of new episodes of pain and physical discomfort and consequently MSDs [17][18][19]. It appears that there are advantages in adopting active lifestyles, both at individual and professional/employment [20].Generally, health promotion programs are having some success in reducing employee health risks, but changing human lifestyles is really an arduous assignment [14,21].PA intervention programs may have a positive impact both in the perspective of the employee and in the perspective of the employer. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the effects these programs may have in real workplace settings. Several studies have been developed focusing on workplace interventions based on different health promotion strategies. PA interventions in workplaces may have specific objectives for individuals (Sjögren, 2006) and employers, namely:• For the individual -improve functionality, physical endurance, muscle strength, joint mobility and self-image, reduce localized pain, depression and social isolation, correct poor posture, increase bone density, self-esteem, maintain autonomy, relieve stress.• For the employer -increase productivity, improve the institutional image, and reduce turnover, absenteeism and medical costs [18].In this context, the aim of this study was to examine whether PA intervention in workplace reduce musculoskeletal pain in employees compared with employed without intervention program by the revision of randomized controlled systematically review the effectiveness of PA interventions (Tables 1 and 2).

“…Likewise, a study on 72 insurance workers also did not find any association between work place exercise programs and blood pressure. 31 Limitations of the Study Our study was limited by several factors. Although we found a significant improvement in participants' levels of wellness, information such as activity level and BMI was based on self-reported, non-validated information.…”
