22. felt healthier and in better shape did not improve their health and physical shape or they stayed at the same low level stabilised their health and physical shape at a high level

23. improvement stabilisation at a high level

24. improved 75% not improved 25%

25. improved 73% not improved 27%

26. to convince many people, who had indicated to never ride bicycle , do now use the bicycle for daily distances to convince people who only rarely rode bicycle now use this means of transport much more often to cover daily distances The percentage of participants who rode bicycle as a sport remained at the same level during the period of the project

30. Cost benefit analysis Costs:appr. € 150,- per participant (incl. personal and material costs for the design and implementation as well as the evaluations and the material costs for the walking tests and body fat measurement. Benefit:Value of one day of an employee's absence from work through illness. At an average salary of € 2000 a month, a sick person costs appr. € 161,- a day (incl. incidental wage costs but without treatment costs) This does not include the training and working costs of a person doing the work instead of the sick person). Computational basis: Monthly salary: € 2000.-. This leads to annual costs of € 36,114.- (incl. employer shares and 13th and 14th salaries). For an employee of 38.5 hours, the cost rate amounts to € 161.- a day.
