Research from the University of Cambridge shows that young adults, aged 16 to 30, see a brief spike in physical activity as they start their first jobs, particularly in semi-routine and routine occupations. However, this activity level tends to decline sharply over the following years. Those working from home exhibit the largest decrease in physical activity, while their sleep patterns remain unchanged. The study highlights the importance of this age group in developing long-term health behaviors and risks, emphasizing the impact of workplace routines on physical health.
Young adults, particularly those in semi-routine and routine jobs, experience an initial increase in physical activity after starting work, followed by a sharp decline.
Despite the surge in activity when entering the workforce, young adults' levels of physical activity tend to drop significantly, especially among those working from home.
