Abstract


The Audiovisual Ergorobics Exercise (AEE) intervention was developed to promote physical activity and wellness among working personnel during office hours. Combining “Ergo” (work) and “robics” (aerobics), the intervention offers dance-based audiovisual materials that can be performed while sitting or standing. This study aimed to develop and validate the quality and effectiveness of AEE. A descriptive design was used with 20 expert validators to assess components such as style, organization, content, and instructional quality. Additionally, a pre- and post-experimental design involving 25 working personnel measured the intervention's impact on physical performance. Results showed a high overall rating, described as outstanding, and a statistically significant improvement in post-test performance. These findings indicate that AEE is both acceptable and effective for promoting physical health in the workplace. The study highlights the potential of incorporating audiovisual exercise routines into employee wellness programs to enhance performance and support occupational health goals.
