Abstract
The project RespirArFundo, through a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative), aimed to assess the effect of an intervention program (22 theoretical-practical sessions). It carried out different types of activities to improve physical fitness levels, well being and quality of life (QoL) in teachers and employees of a higher school in the centre region of Portugal. It was also intended to assess the satisfaction levels of the participants that participated in the project as well as to identify the main barriers and facilitators to their participation. The intervention phase of this project took place between January and June 2021. The sample consisted of 26 school professionals (19 teachers and 7 employees). The majority was female (92.3%) with a mean age of 53.7 (± 5.0 years old). In order to assess physical fitness we used the following tests “chair stand”, “8-Ft Up-&-Go” and “hand grip”. For the assessment of well-being, the PANAS, SWLS and SVS scales were used, while the WHOQOL-Bref was used to assess QoL. A focus group was also performed. After the program, it was found that participants improved on the test “chair stand” in relation to the initial moment. Moreover, participants revealed high levels of satisfaction with the program and perceived the existence of physical and well-being benefits associated with the project, adopting healthy habits. The importance of the project was recognized by the school's management, and specific hours were assigned so that the project continues to function in the following academic years.
