The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of a workplace physical exercise intervention on subjective physical well-being, psychosocial functioning and general wellbeing.The study was a cluster randomized-controlled trial with the department (n = 4) as the unit of randomization. The subjects (n = 90) were office workers [mean age 45.7 (SD 8.5) years]. Psychosocial functioning and well-being variables were measured by descriptive visual rating scales. The cross-over design consisted of one 15-week intervention period of light resistance training and guidance and another 15-week period of no training and no guidance. The statistical analysis was based on linear mixed models.The active component of the intervention, light resistance training, resulted in a slight, but statistically significant, increase in subjective physical well-being (P = 0.015). At the average training time of 5 min/working day (25 min/week) the average increase during the 15-week period was 4 units (95% confidence interval (CI) 1-7) and 5% (95% C1 1-9). The physical exercise intervention had no effect on somatic symptoms, anxiety, self-confidence, mood, mental stress at work, working atmosphere, life satisfaction or meaning of life.Daily light resistance training, conducted during the working day, had a positive direction on subjective physical well-being among office workers.
