Nivel de sedentarismo en colaboradores de la secretaria de la función pública en la Gobernación de Cundinamarca.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the degree of physical inactivity in employees of the Ministry of Public Function in the Cundinamarca region. The results will reveal that a significant proportion of employees have a high level of sedentary lifestyle, or on the contrary a low level of sedentary lifestyle characterized by long periods of sitting and a lack of regular physical activity. To which we must question many things about what the employee's behavior responds to in terms of performance within the secretary. For example, if the employee arrives late more times than allowed, if his mood is low, if he uses inappropriate words that deteriorate the work environment, if he is constantly incapacitated, if the responsibilities he is in charge of cause him to remain stressed and anxiously. Thus, many cases are important to analyze when evaluating the performance of a collaborator and understanding how this can also affect the environment and the organization. This finding raises concerns about employee health and well-being, as a sedentary lifestyle is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and other health problems. The implementation of programs to promote physical activity and awareness of the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle in the workplace is recommended to improve the quality of life of employees and reduce health risks.
