The association between occupational standing and sedentary leisure time over consecutive workdays among blue-collar workers in manual jobs
How Standing at Work Relates to Sitting During Free Time Across Workdays in Manual Labor Workers
AI simplified
Abstract
No association was found between percent of work hours spent standing and percent of leisure time spent sedentary.
- An increase in sedentary leisure time was observed over a week (coef. = 0.70, p < 0.01).
- This increase in sedentary time was not linked to consecutive workdays of occupational standing (coef. = 0.02, p = 0.42).
- Previous hypotheses suggested that fatigue from standing could lead to greater sedentary leisure time, but this study did not find support for that idea.
- Low variation in sedentary leisure time or the measurement of occupational standing may have influenced the findings.
