TI  - The Effect of a Leisure Time Physical Activity Intervention Delivered via a 
      Workplace: 15-Month Follow-Up Study.

AB  - In line with recommendations from both the World Health Organization and the 
      European Union some employers encourage workplace health promotion through 
      physical activity (PA) facilities and leisure time PA-initiatives. The current 
      study describes a 15-month follow-up after an 8-week workplace delivered 
      PA-initiative, investigates if improvements in cardiovascular risk status are 
      sustainable, and elucidates differences according to educational level. One 
      hundred and twenty one employees (43 women) were examined before and after the 
      8-week PA-initiative and 94 at the 15-month follow-up. PA-levels, blood pressure, 
      resting heart rate, lipids, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), C-reactive protein 
      (CRP), and selected markers of inflammation were registered at baseline, 
      immediately after the 8-week PA-initiative, and 15 months after baseline. At the 
      end of follow-up (15-month), PA-levels-increased during the 8-week 
      intervention-had returned to baseline values. None of the five improvements in 
      cardiovascular markers (total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL), 
      P-selectin, CD40Ligand (CD40L) and Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)) 
      seen at the 8-week follow-up were sustained. At the 15-month follow-up as 
      compared to baseline HbA1c, CRP (log) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were reduced by 
      0.06 mmol/L (95% CI -0.11,-0.01), 0.25 mg/L (95% CI -0.46,-0.04) and 0.39 pg/mL 
      (95% CI -0.75, -0.04), respectively. At baseline, there were differences in 
      cardiovascular risk factors comparing men with low versus high levels of 
      education. No differences in changes in outcomes between these groups of men were 
      found during follow-up. In this study highly educated men generally have lower 
      levels of cardiovascular risk factors, but the effect of PA on such markers in 
      this group do not differ from the effects seen in less educated men.
