Office and call center workers ’ steps/day were among the lowest , while those of postal delivery workers were highest .
Office workers had the greatest ST and the lowest time in LPA both at work and during wakeful time .
Laborers had the lowest ST and spent a significantly greater proportion of their work time in LPA and MVPA .
Healthcare and protective services workers had higher levels of LPA at work compared to other occupations .
Workers in driving-based occupations tended to have a higher body mass index and blood pressure .
Conclusion This review identifies that occupational and wakeful time PA and ST differed between occupations .
Background With approximately 8 hours of one ’s waking day spent at work , occupational tasks and environments are important influencers on an individual ’s physical activity ( PA ) and sedentary behaviours .
Little research has compared device-measured physical activity , sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic outcomes between occupational groups .
Objective To compare device-measured movement ( sedentary time [ ST ] , light intensity  physical activity [ LPA ] , moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity [ MVPA ] , and steps ) across occupations .
The secondary objective was to examine whether cardiometabolic and fitness outcomes differed by occupation .
Are physical activity levels of health care professionals consistent with activity guidelines? A prospective cohort study in New Zealand
Objective We aim ed to estimate the level of physical activity undertaken by health care professionals and the proportion that achieved a daily target of 10,000 steps . Design This was a prospect i ve cohort study . Setting Participants were recruited in Wellington Regional Hospital , a tertiary hospital in New Zeal and . Participants Neurology , Cardiology , and Endocrinology staff were invited to participate . Main outcome measures  Pedometer-measured step counts were recorded over seven days and the proportion that achieved a daily target of 10,000 steps was calculated . Results We included 50 staff in the study . The mean daily step count was 10,620 ( st and ard deviation = 3141 ) with a median daily step count of 10,606 ( interquartile range = 7791–12,469 ) . Sixty-five per cent of the staff achieved 10,000 steps per day . Conclusion This cohort was more active compared to other pedometer-based studies in health care professionals . The daily target of 10,000 steps per day was achieved at a higher proportion than reported in international studies and the general New Zeal and
