TL;DR: Employees’ PA levels exerts different influences on the associations between sitting time, mental well-being and work productivity, and the specific associations and the broad sweep of evidence suggest that workplace PA strategies to improve the mental well being and productivity of all employees should focus on reducing sitting time alongside efforts to increase PA.
