Physical Activity and Fitness Level of Healthcare Workers in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital
Physical activity levels of HCW did not meet the World Health Organization's recommended PA levels. Healthcare professionals who are expected to be aware of the benefits of PA and HRF have shown low to midfit levels of grip strength, upper extremity endurance, core strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. Information on PA and HRF may aid in policy making on employee wellness that could highly impact health service delivery.
