Study start date: October 17, 2017

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

Hypothesis: An occupational 6 months physical exercise training will lead to better health behaviour and improve the severity of the metabolic syndrome. 312 subjects will be assigned to either an intervention or a waiting-control-group. The intervention group will receive instructions with the aim to perform 150 min exercise training per week. Exercise consists of endurance, strength and coordination training. A feedback system guided by sports scientists will be installed for all subjects in the intervention group using activity monitoring (wearable). After 6 months training subjects from the intervention group will be assigned to one of the following groups for follow-up observation from month 6 to months 12: * training with personal/individual feedback from sport scientist * training with automated feedback using activity monitoring Tools (wearable) * training without further feedback Subjects assigned to the control group will be provided with information on low intensity motion exercises. After 6 months in the control group subjects will be provided with the same exercise intervention as the intervention for a duration of 6 months. Study visits will be conducted at month 0, month 6, month 12, and a long-term follow-up at month 24..
