Summary

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) significantly impact quality of life, health status, and work ability. Standard treatments include ergonomic interventions, therapeutic exercise programs, education on risk prevention, active breaks, and physiotherapy. This study aims to assess the current physical and psychosocial condition of textile manufacturing workers and to evaluate the impact of a combine exercise and health education program on their physical and psychosocial outcomes.

The eight-week intervention consists of a weekly in-person workshops and two asynchronous online exercise sessions per week via a mobile app, with exercises adjusted based on participant feedback.

Participants will be recruited from voluntary textile workers at Lacor Textil, S.L., aged 18-65, with active employment. All participants will receive the intervention program.

Primary objectives are to assess the baseline physical and psychosocial condition of participants and to evaluate the effects of the eight-week intervention on their physical fitness, musculoskeletal health, and overall psychosocial well-being

Secondary objectives are to examine changes in the intensity and location of musculoskeletal pain and discomfort, the prevalence of symptoms in different body regions, upper and lower body strength using standardized tests, work ability and perception of work performance, and psychosocial and cognitive factors including sleep quality, stress, anxiety, depression, productivity, and quality of life.

Hypothesis: The implementation of an eight-week physical exercise and health education program in textile workers will reduce perceived musculoskeletal discomfort and pain, and improve their physical fitness and psychosocial well-being.

Combined Exercise Training and Health Education Program

The intervention consists of an 8-week hybrid program combining exercise training and workplace-based health education. Eight on-site educational workshops (one per week) are delivered during working hours and address topics related to pain management, physical activity, stress management, and healthy lifestyle behaviors, including review and discussion sessions. The exercise training includes two weekly sessions delivered through a mobile application (RehBody platform). Sessions begin with a warm-up incorporating mobility and core exercises, followed by strengthening exercises for the upper and lower extremities. Exercise difficulty progresses from bilateral, single-joint movements to unilateral, multi-joint exercises. The program is delivered by trained physical therapists and is adaptable to individual participant needs.
