Increased night work is an important issue because of its implications on workers' health, safety and performance. This study examined the effects of brief hourly exercise as a countermeasure against the adverse effects of night work, especially for workers requiring sustained attention while working in a prolonged sitting posture. During simulated night work (22:00-08:00), participants were required to follow an hourly schedule comprising a 30-min task, 15-min test and 15-min break. The study included 2 experimental conditions: (1) hourly exercise (HE; hourly exercise for 3 min during breaks) and (2) control (without exercise during breaks). Throughout the test period, work performance in the last 10 min of each 30-min task was better under the HE condition than under the control condition (p<0.01). During the second half of the test period, exercise showed an effect on sustained attention (p=0.02). Parasympathetic nerve activity under the HE condition was less than that under the control condition (p<0.01). However, exercise was not effective in reducing subjective fatigue and sleepiness. These results suggest that brief hourly exercise acts as a restraint on parasympathetic nerve activity and is capable of sustaining attention levels during the circadian rhythm nadir that occurs during early morning.<br>
