Physical inactivity and productivity – new study shares that it is plausible that physical inactivity can reduce productivity
A joint research project conducted by the Midlands Engine and Coventry University has examined the link between physical inactivity and
productivity in the region.
The research incorporated a survey of the workforce across the Midlands and 85.1% of those surveyed agreed or strongly agreed that being physically
inactive reduces productivity at work.
Conclusions:
|
•
|
It is plausible that physical inactivity can reduce productivity and increase absenteeism and presenteeism
|
|
•
|
It is not clear whether physical inactivity can increase the likelihood of unemployment or leaving the job market early
|
|
•
|
It is plausible that active commuting and workplace wellbeing interventions can be effective in increasing physical activity and reducing
sedentary behaviour.

We would really appreciate your support in helping us to share the survey far and wide, ensuring we get responses that are representative of the
whole of Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.
