OFFICE SEDENTISM AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, IMPLICATIONS FOR EMPLOYEE HEALTH

Summary/Abstract: Extended sedentary behavior in office environments poses a growing concern for public health, contributing to chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and musculoskeletal problems. This study investigates the patterns of sedentary behavior across various office roles and evaluates the effectiveness of physical activity interventions aimed at reducing sitting time and improving employee health. Data collected from 100 employees across different job functions were analyzed to assess the impact of interventions such as scheduled activity breaks, standing desks, walking meetings, and ergonomic furniture. Results indicate that scheduled activity breaks were the most effective intervention, with participants reporting up to a 55% reduction in pain and a 50% increase in energy. The findings highlight the importance of role-specific strategies and emphasize the need for regular movement to mitigate the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting. This research contributes valuable insights for the development of evidence-based workplace wellness programs designed to foster a healthier, more active, and productive workforce.
