This study is characterized by being an experimental descriptive study, since it is intended to analyze the effect of the implementation of training sessions and health education program.
The program lasts for 12 weeks, with 4 sessions per week: 3 times the exercise component and a health education session for 20 to 30 minutes following the ACSM guidelines that indicate warm-up, strength, neuromotor, aerobic training and flexibility of session with relaxation at the end of the exercises.
The exercise program will include aerobic (walking, squatting, step), strength (upper limbs and lower limbs exercises using elastics and barbells) and flexibility (stretching and balance training), progression in physical training according to the effort analysis of each participant according to the Borg scale with target of 8 on a 10 point Borg scale, with increasing intensity after effort reduction. The intensity of the exercise will be the high intensity interval training (75-80% of VO2max) 5x 30 seconds interspersed with 1 minute of low intensity exercise (50-60% of VO2max) during 10 a 15 minutes.
The topics of the health education session will be ergonomic risks at work, musculoskeletal disorders and how to help prevent, and about psychosocial risks and how they influence musculoskeletal disorders, self-management strategies with postural and psychosocial risks.
The physiotherapist will present them, will be responsible for applying the exercises in small groups of participants and evaluations in the pre-test and post-test mode.
The implementation of the program will be in the workplace, before starting working hours.
