Abstract
This study aimed to develop a physical health behavior model for working-age adults in Kanchanaburi Province through sports science innovation and to examine the effects of the developed program on physical fitness. The research employed a quasi-experimental design using a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. In Phase 1; 400 working-age adults were surveyed to investigate factors influencing health behaviors. In Phase 2; 30 participants exhibiting high levels of sedentary behavior were purposively selected for the experimental program. The participants consisted of 16 males and 14 females, with a mean age of 38.47 years. Research instruments included a physical health behavior questionnaire and three standardized physical fitness tests: the 3-Minute Step Test, Sit and Reach Test, and Push-up Test. The developed program, termed the Low-Frequency High-Efficiency Combined Training (LFHE-CT) Model, represents a process-based innovation designed for sedentary working-age adults. The program was conducted for 8 weeks, twice per week, with each session lasting 90 minutes. The findings indicated that perceived benefits of exercise were high, while major barriers included fatigue after work and time constraints. After completing the 8-week program, participants demonstrated statistically significant improvements (p<.05) in cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, and muscular endurance. In addition, the developed model was disseminated to three organizations in Kanchanaburi Province for practical implementation at the organizational level. The results suggest that a low-frequency, but high-intensity training model can effectively improve physical fitness among working-age adults with time limitations.
