Objectives: This 40-week workplace physical training RCT investigated the effect
of soccer and Zumba, respectively, on muscle pain intensity and duration, work
ability, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during work among female hospital employees.
Methods: 107 hospital employees were cluster-randomized into two training
groups, and a control group. The training was conducted outside working hours as two-three 1-h sessions per week for the first 12 weeks, and continued as one-two 1-h sessions per week for the last 28 weeks. Muscle pain intensity and duration, work ability, and RPE during work were measured at baseline and after 12 and 40 weeks.
Results: After 12 weeks, both the soccer (-1.9, 95% CI, -3.0, -0.8, P=0.001)
and the Zumba group (-1.3, 95% CI, -2.3, -0.3, P=0.01) reduced the pain
intensity (on a scale from 0 to 10) in the neck-shoulder region (eta squared=0.109), whereas only the soccer group (-1.9, 95% CI, -3.2, -0.7, P=0.002, eta squared=0.092) showed a reduction after 40 weeks referencing the control group. After 40 weeks, both the soccer (-16.4 days, 95% CI, -29.6, -3.2, P<0.02) and the Zumba group (-16.6 days, 95% CI, -28.9, -4.2, P<0.01) reduced the pain duration during the past 3 months in the neck-shoulder region (eta squared=0.077). No significant effects on intensity or duration of pain in the lower back, RPE during work or work ability were found.
