Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A randomized controlled study with one group undergoing health, safety and well being program (n=40) and other group without exercise training (standard care: job rotation (change task avoid repetitive movements that induce pain ) (n=40) will be conducted. The health, safety and well being program will included exercise training frequency (3*week) and psychoeducation (1*week) during 12 weeks. Exercise training will have duration of 10 min on at the beginning of the work shift and will be conducted by 1 investigator of the team (4 groups with 10 participants). Psychoeducation sessions will have duration of 20-30 minutes and will be conducted by 1 investigator of the team. Each group of intervention will have 10 participants.Exercise training: high intensive interval training (3 minutes cool down: whole body exercises (running straight in same place; high knees running in same place; running quick; running forwards and backwards short distance) 3 minutes exercise (15 sets/1 min 6 rating of perceived in Borg scale; 15 sets/1 min 4 rating of perceived in Borg scale; 15 sets/1 min 6 rating of perceived in Borg scale (squats, standing criss cross, standing crunches, core strength: knee to elbows, side to side chops, cross chops, high knees, twist jumps, side leg raises); 3 min cool down- stretching exercises: (hip flexors stretching; quadricipete stretching; calf stretching; standing forward bend; shoulders stretching (chin retraction; cow face pose; roll shoulders ). Psychoeducation sessions: job coaching; behaviour changes in task performing (3 sessions); benefits of physical activity (3 sessions); empowerment in pain managing (3 sessions);; stress managing strategies (3 sessions). Adherence of intervention will be assessed by direct observation and every 2 weeks with self reported questionnaire (how is your physical condition after star with exercise training, exercise training are important to your work condition; how much times during the week make the exercises).

Summary
Brief summary
This study aim to assess efficacy of implementation of a combined exercise and educational program in pain perception of industrial workers.
The pertinence of this work is the need to define a specific and effective health and well being program in the reduction and prevention of the high prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in occupational context in the automobile industry, optimizing the functionality and physical condition of the individual, which is currently a major public health challenge for an aging society.
The proposed program has a total duration of 12 weeks, consisting of sessions with a 4 weekly frequency with duration of 10 minutes at the beginning of each work shift.
Physical exercise sessions (3 times week) and psychoeducation sessions (1 time week)
Prior to the implementation of the program, individual will be evaluated through multiple tests.
This is an interventional study with control group.
Prior to the implementation of the program, all individuals will be evaluated through multiple tests, such as algometry, flexibility test, strength (1RM) and cardio respiratory capacity with 6 min walking test. Data about Psychosocial risks and sociodemographic condition will be evaluated with questionnaire.
The organization of each data collection session should ensure that the proposed measures are all implemented in a single session and in order to minimize as little as possible the collection will be done by an external element to the research.
All instructions prior to the start of the program should be ensured, with respect to the detailed information to all participants and sectors involved, about the organization of the program, objective and activities, explaining carefully all the procedures to be performed to the workers.
In order to ensure the ethics of the procedures, an awareness-raising action will be carried out on the participants of the study, to explain objectives and methodology of the project, being careful not to induce individuals, so that the expected results are not biased.
Each participant will also be given a statement of informed consent in accordance with the recommendations of Helsinki, making explicit the possibility of abandoning the study at any time without any kind of consequence. Also the confidentiality of the identity and personal and clinical data of the subjects will be guaranteed.
The informed consent statement uses clear and accessible language, not resorting to technical terminology difficult to understand for the person signing the Term of Consent. The primary purpose of this process was to obtain the free and properly informed manifestation of the individual who is being invited to participate in the research project and was not seen as a mere legal or bureaucratic formality to be fulfilled, safeguarding any type of coercion in the process of recruiting volunteers

Public notes
The study was submitted to ethics committee in 2017, but because of changes of ethics commission, new documents were asked and delay the process.
The study must start before of ethical approval because of pressure of company in order implement solutions to workers complaints, due to musculoskeletal disorders.
