Abstract
Among 423 shift workers, the prevalence of insufficiently active individuals was high across all shifts.
- Physical activity levels were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF).
- Social jetlag (SJL) was calculated based on mid-sleep times on work and free days.
- Negative associations were found between SJL and various measures of physical activity among night-shift workers.
- No significant differences in sedentary behavior were observed between different work shifts.
- The findings indicate that SJL may negatively impact physical activity levels in night-shift workers.
