Study period: January 6th -March 28th 2014, 60 workdays. Exercise was performed in 37 of 60 workdays (62%). Two dedicated internal employees were responsible for the daily exercise with targeted and various training-program as stretching, weighttraining, balance, yoga with appropriate/suitable exercise equipment. Exercise time: commonly 30 min. Scheduled during the regular daily break. Daily recording: number of employees at work; number participating exercise; reasons for no exercise. 19 radiographers were employed, 2 quit during the study period. Reasons for not exercising: necessity to work in a part of/the entire break 28%(17/60 days), both exercise radiographers absent 7%(4/60 days), mandatory meetings 3%(2/60 days). Shortterm sick-leave for the study period was 3.0% and 2.7% for the unit and the hospital, respectively. The corresponding results were: 5.6% and 2.8% for 2013; 4.7% and 3.2% for 2015; 6.2% and 2.8% for 2016; 5.3% and 2.8% for 2017 for the unit and the hospital, respectively. The short-term sick-leave were significant higher (p<0.001) for the unit than for the hospital for all first quarters despite for 2014 and 2015. The questionnaires were answered at the start and end of the study. 84% (16/19) answered at baseline, 88%(15/17) at ending. In baseline, 13 of 16(81%) responded that exercise at work have a positive/very positive impact on wellbeing, compared with 11 of 15(73%) at the ending. In baseline 94%(15/16) felt that the exercise are very/extremely important, compared with 80%(12/15) at ending. In baseline and ending, 100% were satisfied/very satisfied with organised exercise. It seems that exercise is one of the factors that can contribute to reduced short-term sick-leave.
