Abstract

Obesity among healthcare workers is an increasingly recognised clinical issue, contributing to cardiometabolic risk, reduced physical capacity, and long-term health consequences. Despite this, structured obesity-focused interventions within hospital workplaces remain limited. This study evaluated the clinical impact of a supervised workplace exercise programme on obesity- related outcomes, cardiorespiratory fitness, and metabolic health among hospital staff at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC).
