Effects of bench step exercise intervention on work ability in terms of cardiovascular risk factors and oxidative stress : a randomized controlled study . Work ability is partly determined by physical and mental fitness . Bench step exercise can be practiced anywhere at any time . The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a bench step exercise on work ability by examining cardiovascular risk factors and oxidative stress . Thirteen volunteers working in a warehousing industry comprised the bench step exercise group ( n=7 ) and the control group ( n=6 ) . The participants in the step exercise group were encouraged to practice the step exercise at home for 16 weeks . The step exercise improved glucose metabolism and antioxidative capacity and increased work ability by reducing absences from work and improving the prognosis of work ability . The improvement in work ability was related to a reduction in oxidative stress . These results suggest that a bench step exercise may improve work ability by reducing cardiovascular risk factors and oxidative stress .
