这项研究的目的是评估坐着的时间和每天走的步数，以及这些变量之间的关系，在工作的澳大利亚成年人的样本。工人（N = 185），佩戴计步器7天，并记录每天采取的步数和坐着的时间。工作日平均坐着的时间为9.4（SD = 2.40）小时，约有一半的时间是坐着工作的。尽管如此，工作日的平均步数（M = 8，873，SD = 2，757）高于周末。工作时坐着的时间和工作日的步数之间存在明显的负相关关系，r =-0.34，p <0.001）;坐着时间最高的三分位数的人报告说每天少走3,000步。管理和专业职业的工人报告更多的时间坐在工作（M = 6.2小时每天）和较低的工作日步数（M = 7，883，N = 43）比技术（M = 3.3小时坐在工作和10，731个工作日步数，N = 33）和蓝领工人（M = 1.6小时坐着和11，784步N = 11）。研究结果表明，那些日常工作涉及长时间坐着的人应该成为工作场所内外促进身体活动的重点。
This study aimed to assess sitting time and number of steps taken each day, and the relationships between these variables, in a sample of working Australian adults. Workers (N = 185), wore a pedometer for 7 days and recorded the number of steps taken and time spent sitting each day. Average time spent sitting on weekdays was 9.4 (SD = 2.40) hr with about half spent sitting at work. Despite this, the average steps taken each day (M = 8,873, SD = 2,757) was higher on weekdays than on weekend days. There was a clear inverse relationship between sitting time at work and number of steps taken on weekdays, r = -.34, p < .001); those in the highest tertile for sitting time reported about 3,000 fewer daily steps. Workers in managerial and professional occupations reported more time sitting at work (M = 6.2 hr per day) and lower weekday step counts (M = 7,883, N = 43) than technical (M = 3.3 hr sitting at work and 10,731 weekday steps, N = 33) and blue collar workers (M = 1.6 hours sitting and 11,784 steps N = 11). The findings suggest those whose daily work involves long hours of sitting should be the focus of efforts to promote physical activity both within and outside the workplace.
