Scientific titleSoccer and Zumba as health promoting activities among Norwegian hospital employees: a cluster randomised controlled intervention trial
Study objectives1. 12 weeks of soccer and Zumba training, respectively, increases the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and fat oxidation during activity and decreases the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total body fat mass, fasting insulin, glucose, sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) and low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol in the blood compared to the control group
2. 12 weeks of soccer and Zumba training, respectively, increases total body muscle mass, the isometric strength in lower body, coordination (balance), jump height and flexibility in the hamstrings muscles and lower back compared to the control group
3. 12 weeks of soccer and Zumba training, respectively, decreases musculoskeletal pain, kinesiophobia and sickness absence compared to the control group
4. Inflammation, measured as cytokine synthesis in EDTA plasma, increases from before to after a single training session
5. 12 weeks of soccer an Zumba training, respectively, improves the work ability, the individual feeling of wellness and the interpersonal relations in the workplace among the participants compared to the control group
6. After 39 weeks, the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and the total body muscle mass is higher in the soccer and the Zumba group, respectively, compared to the control group
7. In the time period from 12 to 39 weeks, fewer participants in the Zumba group have dropped out of the study compared to the participants from the soccer group
Ethics approval(s)Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REK), Norway approved on the 13th December 2010 (ref: 2010/2385-8)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPhysical activity
