| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Currently in Japan, we face a serious national problem of an aging and declining population, where the relative number of workers is also declining. In this type of society, workers’ health and physical fitness should be one of the most important concerns for the government, employers, and the workers. Previous studies show that a decline in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is strongly related to increased morbidity and mortality risks. Thus, CRF is an important health marker in occupational health. In this study, we developed a time-efficient exercise protocol to improve CRF for low-fitness workers. Furthermore, we obtained useful information about workers’ attitude to exercise through a feasibility experiment in their workplaces. Further study is needed for promoting health within the workplace.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
疾患発症との関わりが強い心肺持久力の低下を予防するためには、“余暇時間の適度な運動”が推奨されるが、多くの忙しい労働者にとってその実践は容易ではない。その一方で、職務時間の大部分を座位で過ごすような働き方をする人は増えている。「職場での運動」はその打開策になり得るが、現状では、それを受け入れる社会的雰囲気は醸成されていない。本研究により、その議論を進めるための、ひいては運動を社会のメカニズムにどう適応させるかについての議論を深めるための情報が得られた。
