Study Says Most Workers Spend Majority of Time Sitting
The study, sponsored by the nation's largest health insurer Medibank Private, also found that workers spend 77% in sedentary tasks at their desks and just 23% of the time in minor exercise like going over to the printer or the coffee machine.
A small device called an accelerometer was used in the study to measure how much people exercised and it found that one-third of participants did 30 minutes of exercise as required by national guidelines.
More worryingly moderate exercise occupies just 5% of time on both work days as well as off days.
