Sedentary living is prevalent in society, despite
evidence on the health benefits of exercise and
physical activity. Against this background, the
workplace can provide a key setting from which to
promote lifestyle health improvement. There are
various opportunities, perspectives, and outcomes to
be explored in the evaluation of workplace physical
activity interventions. This book reflects the
complexity of evaluation, using a multi-perspective
approach and behavioural theory to explore the
potential effectiveness of interventions. The
comparison of lifestyle activity messages (moderate
intensity) and structured ones (more vigorous
intensity) is a major theme. Three methodological
approaches are used: a systematic review of evidence,
a qualitative study of employer views, and surveys of
employee responses to different interventions. The
book offers new insight into motivations and barriers
relating to potential management support for, and
employee participation in, workplace physical
activity interventions. It also demonstrates the
usefulness of adopting a rigorous exploratory
research approach. It is addressed to researchers
and decision-makers alike.
