Abstract Background ‘Sit less-move more' has been a common advice to improve health of adults. Research indicates that this might be enhancing among adults with sedentary occupations but not physically active such as cleaners. This may explained by the considerable differences in 24-h physical behaviors between and occupations. To provide scientific approach encourage research on for those occupations, we recently proposed ‘Sweet-Spot Hypothesis'. The hypothesis postulated ‘Sweet-Spot' better differs adults, depending their occupation. Methods exemplify hypothesis, tested cross-sectional association 24-hour time composition measured using thigh-based accelerometry self-rated engaged white-collar (n = 136), manufacturing 481) cleaning 130) Results We found sweet spot was far from ‘sit zone Specifically, workers, behavior distribution associated best 5% comprised about 30% day spent behavior, 45% actively, 25% sleep.
