Rapid Optimisation of Performance Enhancement and Skill (ROPES)

Despite innate knowledge of the benefits of regular physical activity, healthcare workers are just as physically inactive as the general population. Physical activity interventions delivered at the workplace seem perfect to improve the health of this large population. The aim of the study is to deliver an efficacious, minimal time impost training program targeted at optimising health benefit while overcoming time-related barriers to initial uptake of regular exercise.

To evaluate the effectiveness of a 4-week, easily accessible, time-optimised exercise program (ROPES - Rapid Optimisation of Performance Enhancement and Skill) for healthcare workers. 60 staff recruited from Singapore General Hospital (SGH) will be randomly assigned into 2 groups, CONTROL or ROPES group. The ratio to intervention and control group is at 1:1. The staff will be assigned to each group respectively.
