The times spent in sedentary behavior (SB) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are independently associated with health outcomes; however, objective data on levels including SB among different occupations is limited. We compared accelerometer-measured SB, light-intensity (LPA), MVPA, the patterns prolonged bouts of between white- blue-collar workers.
