Although activity trackers are becoming more popular, little is known whether this new technology qualifies to improve employees' health. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a workplace intervention applying activity trackers (behavioral approach) along with an online coach (cognitive approach) on work-related well-being (e.g., burnout) and physical health (e.g., body mass index). To test for intervention effects, 116 employees at risk were recruited at 1 large mobility enterprise in Germany and randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 59) and a control group (n = 57). Intervention effects were assessed 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year after the intervention. Analyses of variance for repeated measures revealed no intervention or long-term effects on work-related well-being. In the intervention group, we found a significant increase in health perception and a significant decrease in body mass index. These effects were stable over time 3 months after the intervention for health perception and 1 year after the intervention for body mass index. Our study shows that a cognitive-behavioral intervention with activity trackers improved physical health over time but was not effective in enhancing work-related well-being.

通过基于技术的体育活动干预来改善员工的与工作相关的福祉和身体健康：一项随机干预-对照组研究。

尽管活动跟踪器变得越来越流行，但对于这项新技术是否符合改善员工健康的条件知之甚少。这项研究旨在评估应用活动跟踪器（行为方法）和在线教练（认知方法）的工作场所干预对与工作相关的幸福感（例如倦怠）和身体健康（例如体重指数）的影响。为了测试干预效果，在德国的一家大型移动企业中招募了116名有风险的员工，并将其随机分配到干预组（n = 59）和对照组（n = 57）。干预1个月，3个月和1年后评估干预效果。重复测量的方差分析显示，对工作相关的幸福感没有干预或长期影响。在干预组中 我们发现健康感知显着增加，而体重指数显着下降。这些效果在健康感知干预后3个月和体重指数干预后1年内随时间稳定。我们的研究表明，使用活动跟踪器进行认知-行为干预可以随着时间的推移改善身体健康，但不能有效改善与工作相关的幸福感。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。我们的研究表明，使用活动跟踪器进行认知-行为干预可以随着时间的推移改善身体健康，但不能有效改善与工作相关的幸福感。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。我们的研究表明，使用活动跟踪器进行认知-行为干预可以随着时间的推移改善身体健康，但不能有效改善与工作相关的幸福感。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
