It is reported that those who do desk work in working life act less as a result of their professional requirements. Considering the benefits of physical activity, it is recommended that the risks of desk workers, especially those in the risk group who produce work by consuming less energy, should be reduced and encouraged to participate in physical activity at a level and manner suitable for a healthier life. For this reason, it is important to determine the level of physical activity according to different variables in individuals working at desk jobs.The aim of our study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the "Occupational Sitting And Physical Activity Questionnaire (OSPAQ)" scale in Turkish, which was developed to evaluate the situation of sitting, standing, walking and doing heavy work. All forms will be sent through the media. 100 office workers will be included in the study. Physical activity level of office workers will be evaluated by Turkish OSPAQ and International Physical Activity Questionnaire. For the reliability study, after 7 days, the physical activity of office workers will be re-evaluated with Turkish OSPAQ. Factor analysis methods will be used to examine the factor structure of the scale, correlation analysis (Pearson and Spearman coefficients) in validity analysis and test-retest reliability. Cronbach alpha analysis will be used in the reliability analysis.
