dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to examine the physical activity duration, intensity, energy expenditure, and average metabolic equivalent (MET/h) values of employed individuals, as well as how they differ by gender and age. The study included 463 volunteers, 261 women and 202 men ranging in age from 18 to 65. Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (PAAQ), International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and Personal Information Form were applied to the participants with the self-assessment method. It was determined that durations of “sitting at work, walking for transportation, transportation, and activities are done sitting at home” were longer in males compared to females, and the duration of standing physical activity at home was longer in females compared to males. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the age groups in terms of the duration of moderate-to-vigorous physical activities participation of the employees, and the duration of participation in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity decreased as the age increased. It was found that the total amount of physical activity spent by women in the last seven days for physical activity at work and at home and for standing activities at home was higher than men. It has been found that about ¾ of both female and male do not walk during the lunch break, and the rate of walking during the lunch break of employees aged 45 and over is higher than those of other age groups (p<0.05). As a result, it was observed that the participation time of females in all activity areas except standing activities at home was shorter compared to males and that as age increases, the duration of participation in moderate-to-vigorous PA decreases and that female’s walking time for transportation purposes is longer than men’s, but there is no difference between lunch break walking times.
