Dr. Lukas Streese from the Faculty of Health Care at The Hochschule Niederrhein has received project funding of 150,000 for the ActivitySnippets project. The university is working closely with the Krefeld public utility company on this project. In the first project phase, the ActivitySnippets project aims to create short, easy-to-understand snippets of exercise tailored to everyday working life and make them available to groups of people with a high level of physical inactivity during their working day. The employees will be involved in the creation of the movement offers to ensure the sustainability of the behavioral change even after the end of the project phase. In the second phase of the project, these physical activity snippets will be tested in a randomized and controlled intervention study with employees of Stadtwerke Krefeld. The aim of this project is to sustainably activate work-related inactivity through short, understandable and practicable exercises and thus make a decisive contribution to the prevention of non-communicable diseases. ActivitySnippets is intended to be a building block for the development of a more active and therefore healthier society with the potential to be extended to other inactive occupational groups with a high indication for more physical activity in everyday working life.
