The associations between physical activity and productivity among office workers, however, was both significant (p<0.05) and moderate positive (r=0.39). The vegetable intake among the office workers showed a significant (p<0.05) moderate positive association with productivity (r=0.49). The association between vegetable intake and productivity among the train drivers was not significant (p>0.05) and low positive (r=0.16). There was a significant (p<0.05) and moderate positive association between fruit intake and productivity among both train drivers (r=0.43) and office workers (r=0.47). No significant associations between sedentary behaviour and obesity and productivity were found. The current study provided new insight into the risks associated with lifestyle factors of office workers and train drivers in the transportation sector. The poor lifestyle factors, together with the high prevalence of sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity, provide ideal opportunities for future interventions to focus on workers productivity and overall wellbeing. The job design of train drivers and office workers does not place significant importance on employee health and wellness. Essentially they are not “healthy” but they work productively, giving reason as to why employee wellness is not a priority for employers. The current findings of the study suggest that adopting regular physical activity, healthy dietary patterns and reduced sitting time should be promoted as key components of lifestyle interventions for the prevention of non-communicable diseases in office workers and train drivers.]]> Fri 08 Jul 2022 09:01:31 SAST ]]> Is there an inverse-u relationship between financialisation and investment?: South Africa’s stock market capitalisation in comparative perspective https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45058 Fri 06 May 2022 12:10:38 SAST ]]> Numerical evolution of plane gravitational waves https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:44977 Fri 04 Feb 2022 14:37:49 SAST ]]>
