Zusammenfassung. Untersucht wurde die spezifische Wirkung der Interventionstechnik „Planung sportbezogener sozialer Unterstützung“ (PssU) im Rahmen eines betrieblichen Programms zur Sportförderung („MoVo-work“). Die Mitarbeitenden (N = 69) wurden cluster-randomisiert 2 Gruppen zugeordnet: die Interventionsgruppe (IG) erhielt MoVo-work mit dem Modul PssU, die Kontrollgruppe (KG) MoVo-work ohne dieses Modul. Sportaktivität und soziale Unterstützung wurden vor (T1) und nach der Intervention (T2) erhoben, sowie nach 6 Wochen (T3) und 6 Monaten (T4). In der IG nahm der Anteil der sportlich aktiven Personen beim Vergleich T1 – T3 um 24 % zu (p < .05); in der KG dagegen nur um 9 %. Auch beim Vergleich T1 – T4 war in der IG noch ein Zuwachs an sportlich aktiven Personen von 8 % festzustellen, wohingegen in der KG deren Anteil sogar um 3 % abnahm. Es fanden sich keine Gruppenunterschiede hinsichtlich der wahrgenommenen sozialen Unterstützung. Die Resultate zeigen, dass betriebliche Bewegungsförderungsprogramme substanziell davon profitieren können, wenn sie auch die Ebene der sozialen Unterstützung berücksichtigen.


Social Support as a Component of a Worksite Program to Promote Physical Activity and Exercise

Abstract. This study investigated the specific effect of the intervention technique “Planning Exercise-Related Social Support” (PESS) in the context of a worksite program promoting exercise (“MoVo-work”). Employees (N = 69) were cluster-randomized and assigned to two groups: the intervention group (IG) received MoVo-work with the module PESS, the control group (CG) received MoVo-work without PESS. Physical exercise and social support were measured before (T1) and after (T2) the intervention as well as after 6 weeks (T3) and 6 months (T4). Comparing T1 and T3, the percentage of physically active participants in the IG increased by 24 % (p < .05), whereas in the CG the increase was only 9 %. Comparing T1 and T4, the IG showed an increase of physically active participants of 8 %, whereas the percentage of active subjects in the CG even decreased by 3 %. No group differences were found concerning perceived social support. The results suggest that worksite intervention programs promoting physical activity profit substantially by additionally considering social support.
