Interventions

Participants will be randomised in clusters to receive one of the following interventions for one year. The clusters will relate to their work team where possible or groups where participants report t

none of the lectures will address physical activity.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Cardiorespiratory fitness will be measured before the randomisation at baseline, after the 4 months intervention and after the 1 year intervention	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Diurnal heart rate 2. Diurnal ambulatory blood pressure 3. Self-rated work productivity 4. RPE during work 5. Intensity and number of regions with self-rated musculoskeletal pain 6. High Sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) 7. High density lipoprotein (HDL) 9. Self-rated need for recovery 10. Participation in intervention Measured before the randomisation at baseline, after 4 months intervention and after 1 year intervention	—
