The Effectiveness of Worksite Nutrition and Wellness Program on Changes in Body Composition, Metabolic Profile, and Physical Fitness Among Employees
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a worksite-based nutrition and wellness program in improving body composition, metabolic profile, and physical fitness among university employees who are overweight or obese. The intervention includes personalized and structured physical activity (such as Zumba classes), nutritional education, and self-monitoring using mobile applications. Participants will be assessed at baseline, after 6 weeks and 12 weeks of intervention to determine changes in fat mass, muscle mass, waist circumference, and related health indicators. This program is designed to promote healthier lifestyle habits and prevent non-communicable diseases in the workplace.
