“…Various socioeconomic, lifestyle, personal, gender, and work factors influence both forms of physical activity, resulting in a different physiological response [ 3 , 4 ]. In turn, they influence each other, although not reciprocally: a better physical condition will result in better performance of work tasks that require effort [ 5 ] but making great work effort negatively influences the performance of physical activities of leisure. OTPA increases the risk of absenteeism while LTPA decreases it [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Poor job satisfaction is associated with mental problems, such as depression, anxiety, or burn-out syndrome [ 9 ]. The few studies that have studied the relationship between this factor and physical activity have found weak associations, highlighting the need for more studies in this regard [ 5 ].…”

“…In addition, although the administration of vitamin D is associated with an improvement of mental health [ 65 , 66 ], (5) we did not evaluate the effect of vitamin D on PTG. Additionally, (6) we did not consider the intensity of physical activity, a rising variable which can modify psychosocial and physical risks factors [ 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ].…”

“…Unfortunately, low-wage manual workers including university cleaners are also less likely than higher paid white-collar employees to independently participate in preventive or rehabilitative physical activity as a result of lower physical activity social support and lower physical activity competence and self-efficacy (Das et al. , 2016; Morgado et al. , 2020; Nobrega et al.…”

“…Occupational cleaning is associated with high rates of work-related pain and injury occurrence, worker's compensation claims, and missed workdays (Chang et al, 2012;Green et al, 2019;Kumar and Kumar, 2008; Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, 2020b). Unfortunately, low-wage manual workers including university cleaners are also less likely than higher paid white-collar employees to independently participate in preventive or rehabilitative physical activity as a result of lower physical activity social support and lower physical activity competence and self-efficacy (Das et al, 2016;Morgado et al, 2020;Nobrega et al, 2016). In addition to the initial health and financial impacts to the employee and the employer, work-related musculoskeletal injuries often contribute to psychological stress and depression that slows recovery and either delays or prevents return-to-work (Collie et al, 2020;Wright et al, 2019).…”
