Workplace neighbourhood built environment and workers' physically-active and sedentary behaviour: a systematic review of observational studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many desk-based workers can spend more than half of their working hours sitting, with low levels of physical activity. Workplace neighbourhood built environment may influence workers' physical activities and sedentary behaviours on workdays.
