Reducing sedentary behaviours at work is imperative. Before effective strategies can be developed there is a need to understand profiles of activity within particular roles and organizations. This study aimed to determine activity profiles of staff by job title at a UK university. Three-hundred and seventeen participants completed the international physical activity questionnaire - short form to determine physical activity profiles. Fifty-one participants also wore a wrist-worn GENEActiv accelerometer for 7 days and completed a self-report diary denoting work and leisure hours. Twenty-one per cent of respondents were categorized as inactive and achieved 298 ± 178 metabolic equivalent minutes (MET-min)/week. Those in administrative roles were most sedentary (501 ± 161 min/day). Accelerometer data highlighted that sedentary time was identical between job roles (pooled mean 8746 ± 823 counts) and equated to 84 ± 9% of total time. During working hours, management, professional and specialist job roles had the highest level of sedentary time (2066 ± 416 counts). Time spent undertaking sedentary activities during working hours contributes to reduced overall activity and can impede productivity, performance and health. Interventions encouraging regular movement and preventing sedentary behaviours at work are therefore required.
减少工作中的久坐行为势在必行。在制定有效的策略之前，需要了解特定角色和组织内的活动特征。本研究旨在确定英国一所大学员工的职位活动特征。317 名参与者完成了国际体力活动问卷-短表，以确定体力活动特征。51 名参与者还佩戴了 wrist-worn GENEActiv 加速度计 7 天，并完成了一份自我报告日记，记录工作和休闲时间。21%的受访者被归类为不活跃，每周的活动量为 298±178 代谢当量分钟（MET-min）。行政职务的人最久坐（每天 501±161 分钟）。加速度计数据显示，不同职位的久坐时间相同（平均 8746±823 个计数），相当于总时间的 84±9%。在工作时间内，管理、专业和专家职位的久坐时间最长（2066±416 个计数）。工作时间内进行久坐活动所花费的时间会导致整体活动量减少，并可能影响生产力、绩效和健康。因此，需要鼓励定期运动和预防工作中久坐行为的干预措施。
