The task of this paper was to check the amount of physical activity carried out in sedentary workplaces and to highlight the importance of adequate physical activity. Data will be collected using a convenient sample questionnaire. Then, based on the descriptive data processing, the results of the research will be presented. In this paper, the survey was conducted by means of a survey questionnaire on a sample of 74 respondents. The importance of physical activity itself was highlighted through the benefits it has on various body systems, and recommendations were also given so that people with a sedentary job could effectively increase their amount of physical activity. The main goal of the work was to investigate the amount of physical activity carried out by employees with sedentary jobs and to see what percentage of respondents meet the minimum guidelines for physical activity of the WHO. According to the result of the survey questionnaire on a weekly level, 53 % of respondents did not carry out any intensive activity on a weekly level. 28 % of them spent 35 minutes of intense activity per week. 14 % of them spent 70 minutes, while 4 % spent 140 minutes and 1 % spent 210 minutes. According to the data from the survey questionnaire, even 30 % did not engage in moderate activity at all on a weekly basis. 20 % of them spent 35 minutes of moderate activity per week. 24 % of them spent 70 minutes. 12 % of them spent 105 minutes, 6 % spent 120 minutes, and even 8 % spent 315 minutes. On average, the respondents performed intensive physical activity 1 day a week, and on average 4 minutes a day, or 28 minutes a week. They did moderate activity 2 days a week, 10 minutes a day, or 70 minutes a week to be exact. According to the division of respondents into categories, the results of this research indicate that 39 % of respondents did not meet the minimum guidelines for performing physical activity. 48 % of them meet the minimum guidelines for physical activity and belong to a moderate level of physical activity, while 13 % of them are highly active. Compared to 20 world countries, the physical activity of this test group is in the 16th place.
