Recovery from work stress during workday breaks, free evenings, weekends, and vacations is known to benefit employee health well-being. However, how recovery at different temporal settings interconnected not well understood. We hypothesized that on days when employees engage in recovery-enhancing lunchtime activities, they will experience higher resources leaving home (i.e., low fatigue high positive affect) consequently spend more time activities the evening, thus creating a cycle. In this study, 97 were randomized into park walk relaxation groups. As evening we measured spent physical exercise, activity natural surroundings, social activities. Afternoon assessed twice week before, during, after intervention, for five weeks. Our results based multilevel analyses showed completed walk, exercise surroundings compared lunch break was as usual. neither exercises nor afternoon associated with any of findings suggest other factors than are important determining much various Fifteen-minute walks inspired similar health-benefitting their time.
