Sažetak

The introduction of technology into all aspects of the work process brought about a number of rules and limitations but also a number of “new” effects on people. Working conditions have not signifi cantly
improved, the main working position is still sitting, and psychological tension continues to increase with grater responsibilities and workload. The lack of physical activity lowers the level of physical ability and thus the degree of functioning of different organ systems, mainly cardiovascular and respiratory. In addition to static loads, in most professions, visual and nervous systems are burdened by continuous attention to monitors, which creates tension, fatigue, and nervousness. Therefore, there is a need to compensate for the consequence of such work in spare time. Kinesiological profession is engaged in improving working conditions by introducing appropriate exercise programmes in both the working environment and leisure. This paper presents physical activity recommendations for the employees according to their working position, form, and intensity of workload. General recommendations for the employees’ physical activity are: 3x5 minutes of daily stretching and relaxation within an active break at work, daily aerobic activity 30-60 minutes, and 2x60 minutes weekly of tailor made specific exercise programmes.
