PINO-CASAL, V y DE-PEDRO-JIMENEZ, D. Changes in sedentary and physical activity habits of workers who switched to teleworking during the Covid19 pandemic. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.4, pp.436-442. Epub 14-Mar-2022. ISSN 3020-1160.
Introduction:
Confinement has led to changes in the work patterns of some workers that have an impact on habits such as physical activity.
Objective:
The aim was to analyse differences in sedentary time and physical activity before (2018) and after the pandemic (2021) in sedentary workers (N=44), differentiated by sex, who switched to teleworking.
Material and Methods:
Single-group retrospective observational before-after study. The variables age, sex, sedentary time and energy expenditure in metabolic equivalents were collected. Percentages, mean, median and standard deviation were calculated. Mann-Whitney U-test, t-test for independent and related samples and the sign test for absence of symmetry were applied.
Results:
Sedentary time decreased between 2018 and 2021 (p=0.005). Total expenditure and partial expenditure for heavy and light physical activity increased between the two years (p<0.001).
Conclusion:
Switching to telework decreased sedentary time and increased heavy and light physical activity.
