Summary

Studies show that exercise resistance in workplace can reduce the symptoms of induced labor, however, the effectiveness of such programs depends on the characteristics of the training fatigue. Thus, it is expected that this study the intervention group with training heavy using progressive resistance exercise protocol will be better in reducing fatigue when compare with light training group.

Detailed description

Background: This study is randomized clinical trial with double-blinded. The aim is evaluate the effectiveness the training heavy with resistance exercise program in the muscle fatigue control. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial by cluster, in which workers who participate in the intervention group will perform resistance exercise protocols; and workers in the comparative group held only stretching exercises and light resistance training with elastic bands. Expected results: strong evidence that fatigue reducing after ten weeks in workers and improve in others outcomes. Not found in literature studies in occupational evaluating this aspect of training.

Conditions

• Fatigue
• Musculoskeletal Diseases

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Compensatory Workplace Exercise (CWE) - Comparative Group	The comparative group will receive warming up and stretching and light resisted exercise with elastic bands. The exercise will realize three times per week, 20 minutes for day in total 60 minutes per week. With warming up for 5 minutes and 15 minutes of the specific training . The exercise will realize in 3 series with 10 repetitions and rest 30 seconds between series.
OTHER	Individual Resistance Exercise (IRE) - Intervention Group	Intervention group will receive warming up and stretching, and a specific resistance training with increase progress load. The exercise will realize three times per week, 20 minutes for day in total 60 minutes per week. With warming up and stretching for 5 minutes and 15 minutes of the specific training. The exercise will realize in 3 series with 10 repetitions and rest 30 seconds between series.
