Course Description: Men’s workplaces provide an important delivery point for health promotion. The purpose of the study was to examine men’s pre-post physical activity and sleep following the intervention, as well as to explore program acceptability and gather men’s recommendations for health promotion. Researchers found that men’s suggestions to enable physical activity involved workplace practices/resources, reducing workload, and leadership support. These findings suggest that a gender-sensitive physical activity workplace intervention showed promise for improving physical activity and sleep among men.
