Abstract

The increase in non-communicable diseases can be caused by unhealthy community behavior, including low physical activity. Various benefits of physical activity include reducing the risk of degenerative diseases and depression. In addition, physical activity is the key to energy expenditure which is very important to balance energy and control body weight. There are various factors related to physical activity in office workers. This study aimed to determine the pattern of physical activity and its determinants in office workers. This study used a cross-sectional design, and the number of samples was 31 people. Height and weight data were collected using anthropometric measurement, physical activity patterns, and determinants such as demographic characteristics, sports facilities, social environment, and perceptions of physical activity collected using GPAQ. The data were analyzed using univariate analysis. The results showed that the average level of physical activity was moderate (52%). The determinant factors that most influence physical activity participation are technological advances (transportation and communication), perceived benefits, and family support.
