Abstract
This research is quasi-experimental research aiming to study the effect of a physical activity promotion program. Compare the physical activity level and physical fitness of working Adult. During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Situation, the sample group used in the research consisted of 50 people. The research instruments were 1) Physical activity promotion program for working Adult, 2) Physical fitness test, 3) Global Physical. Activity Questionnaire: GPAQ version 2 and 4) Physical activity Recording. Statistics used to compare before and after using the physical activity promotion program. Data were analyzed using Mean, Percentage, Standard Deviation, Two-Way Repeated-Measures MANOVA and Bonferroni for post-hoc procedure. The results were that 1. Physical activity level and amount of exercise of working age personnel of males were higher than females. 2. The physical fitness of the experimental group was better than the control group. Flexibility, muscles strength of hand and forearm, leg muscle strength and endurance, and cardiovascular endurance. There was Not statistically significant between the trial and 8 weeks after the trial. However, after 8 weeks and after 12 weeks the trial, there was significantly different at the statistical level of .05.
