Societal increases in obesity and physical inactivity have led to consideration of workplace interventions as a potential for improving health. However, long-term evaluations of such interventions are rare. Here we will evaluate the Global Corporate Challenge (GCC), which engages employees to participate in a four month pedometer-based program aimed at increasing their physical activity levels. We will follow 1000 participants for two years to determine the short and long-term health benefits of the program and to provide insight into factors that may improve the success of such programs. Such findings are essential for appropriate government and industry policy decisions in this area of chronic disease prevention.

肥胖和缺乏身体活动的社会现象日益增多，促使人们考虑工作场所的干预措施可能有助于改善健康。然而，这种干预措施的长期评估是罕见的。在这里，我们将评估全球企业挑战（GCC），该计划要求员工参加一个为期四个月的以计步器为基础的项目，旨在提高他们的体育活动水平。我们将对1000名参与者进行为期两年的跟踪调查，以确定该项目的短期和长期健康效益，并深入了解可能提高此类项目成功程度的因素。这些发现对于在这一慢性疾病预防领域作出适当的政府和行业政策决定至关重要。
