658 2 - PublicationWork-site health promotion of frequent computer users: comparing selected interventionsOBJECTIVE: Frequent computer use is associated with an increase in musculoskeletal complaints. The present study aims at comparing the relative efficacy of three novel interventions for the preventions of musculoskeletal complaints in frequent computer users. PARTICIPANTS: 93 employees (56 woman, 37 men, mean age 40.1 ± 8.8 years) with frequent computer use. METHODS: Participants were assigned on the basis of preference to one of the following interventions of 8 week duration: Nordic Walking (NW), biofeedback assisted relaxation and stretching (BFB), balance exercises on a wobble board (BAL) or a waiting list control group. Outcome measures were musculoskeletal complaints, emotional well-being, fatigue, job dissatisfaction as well as neuromuscular activity in the neck/shoulder region at rest and during computer work assessed before and after the intervention and at 3 months follow-up. RESULTS: The average number of training-units per week was 2.2 ± 0.8, 5.5 ± 3.5 and 4.1 ± 2.9 for NW, BFB and BAL, respectively. NW led to short and medium term improvement of musculoskeletal complaints, BFB to a short term improvement of musculoskeletal complaints. Effects on the well-being related variables or on neuromuscular activity were not found. BAL had no effect on the studied variables. CONCLUSION: NW and to a limited extent BFB are interventions potentially useful for reducing musculoskeletal complaints in frequent computer users.

;Blasche, Gerhard; ; ;Ekmekcioglu, CemResearch is scarce on ways to enhance the effect of rest breaks during mentally demandingtasks. The present study investigated the effectiveness of two rest‐break interventionson well‐being during an academic lecture. Sixty‐six students (53 females, mean age22.5 years) enrolled in two different university classes of 4‐hr duration participatedin the study. Two measures of well‐being (fatigue and vigor) were assessed immediatelybefore, after, and 20 minutes after the break. A control condition without a breakas well as an unstructured break was compared with breaks either encompassing physicalactivity or a relaxation exercise. Compared with the nonbreak condition, the unstructuredrest break led to an increase in vigor, the exercise break as well as the relaxationbreak both to an increase in vigor and a decrease in fatigue at 20‐min post break.Compared with the unstructured break, exercise led to an (additional) increase invigor and relaxation to an (additional) decrease in fatigue at 20‐min post break.Thus, the effects of rest breaks during mentally demanding tasks can be enhanced byengaging in physical activity or relaxation exercises, with effects lasting at leastas long as 20 min into the continuation of the task.421 2Scopus© Citations 33 - PublicationIntegrierte Gesundheitsberichterstattung als konzeptionelle Grundlage für intersektorale Zusammenarbeit am Beispiel des Burgenländischen Gesundheitsberichts 2012(2014)
; ; Im Zuge der Burgenländischen Gesundheitsberichterstattung 2012 wurde das Konzept der integrierten Gesundheitsberichterstattung angewandt. Hierfür wurden unterschiedliche qualitative und quantitative Datenerhebungsmethoden eingesetzt. Im Burgenland – einem Bundesland Österreichs – liegt nun erstmals ein umfassender, integrierter Gesundheitsbericht vor. Integration fand auf Datenebene, Akteursebene sowie durch partizipative BürgerInnenbeteiligung statt. Integrierte Gesundheitsberichterstattung hat das Potenzial, die Akzeptanz von Gesundheitsberichten sowie die Nutzung von aufbereiteten Informationen für politische Entscheidungen zu erhöhen. Aktuelle Herausforderungen liegen in der Verfügbarkeit intersektoraler Daten sowie unterschiedlichen Interessensgruppen und AdressatInnen von Gesundheitsberichten.6 1 - Publication
303 2 - PublicationSchoolwalker – eine Initiative zur gesundheits- und umweltbewussten Mobilität bei KindernWalking, as a form of exercise, promotes health and can contribute to a reduction of traffic as well as reduced environmental pollution. The promotion of physical activity in early childhood has been shown to be an important instrument in improving levels of health and overall wellbeing. The aim of this study was to show the influence of walking to school on kinesic behaviour of children and to determine the impact of walking on CO2 emission levels.
