Document Summary
The office workplace is one domain in which the importance of physical activity seems to be largely ignored; yet it has the potential to be one of the most influential forms of physical activity intervention. The target group for this workplace intervention is adults aged 20-55 working in an office setting at least 40 hours per week. The target working population will consist of those working in the financial district of downtown ottawa because the companies have a similar working environment. Approximately 80 percent of canadian jobs are classified as sedentary (work-weekly hours worked, 2012)citation); therefore the intervention will represent primarily workplaces with sedentary environments. The working population being addressed is of relatively high socio-economic standing and the majority having a family. Office jobs have become increasingly sedentary in nature nature; employers often do not provide opportunities or initiatives, which encourage physical activity.
