Abstract

Obesity is one of five death risks globally. This is worsened by the increasing sedentary nature of work, where adults spend most of their time. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic causes many employees to work from home. Online exercise in home or tele-exercise may potentially manage this. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of tele-exercise on decreasing body weight of obese employee, or if it must be combined with nutrition tele-counseling. The design of this study is Pre-Post-Test Quasi-Experimental. This study was conducted on obese office employee in Jakarta with two intervention groups, one who receive tele-exercise intervention and the other who receive tele-exercise and nutrition tele-counseling. Subjects were divided into tele-exercise (n=25) and tele-exercise and nutrition tele-counseling (n=38). Subjects received tele-exercise 30 minutes per session, three sessions per week for six weeks. Tele-counseling was done by WhatsApp application every day, consisting of balanced nutrition education and calorie restriction for weight loss. Paired t-test was done on subject's body weight before and after intervention. The group who received tele-exercise and tele-counseling experienced weight loss significantly with average bodyweight from 77.36±11.83 kg to  75.49±11.58 kg (Δ=-1.87 kg, p<0.05), while the same didn't happen on another group (Δ=0.36, p>0.05). This research showed that tele-exercise is not very effective on decreasing obese office employee's body weight, but must be combined with nutrition tele-exercise to achieve significant weight loss.
