The times spent in sedentary behavior (SB) and moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are independently associated with health outcomes; however, objective data on physical activity levels including SB among different occupations is limited. We compared accelerometer‐measured times spent in SB, light‐intensity physical activity (LPA), and MVPA, and the patterns associated with prolonged bouts of SB between white‐ and blue‐collar workers.
