 INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

INTRODUCTION

This research is conducted so as to understand the impact physical fitness has on

employee productivity. In today’s sedentary lifestyle, it is becoming all the more important for
employees to engage in physical activity. It not only improves physical health but also mental
health. Physical exercise is the performance of some activity to enhance physical fitness and
overall health and wellness. A good physical exercise involves at least 30 minutes and hence in
this research anyone engaging in any physical activity for more than 30 minutes is considered to
be physically active. The proxies for productivity in this study are low absenteeism, alertness,
speed of work completion, level of activeness, level of stress and diseases of the employee.

With the help of a structured questionnaire administered to 100 respondents spanning

across varied fields like business management, engineering, marketing, IT, health sector,
software development etc., we aimed to examine the difference between the productiveness of
those who engage in physical activity and those who do not. According to the results of our
study, it was found that

OBJECTIVES
 To descriptively examine the relationship between physical activity and employee
productivity
 To find whether there exists a difference between the work productivities of employees
