Employers have been urged to encourage staff to take decent breaks after a study suggested many people are working through their lunch hour every day.
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy said inactivity resulted in ill-health and therefore more time off sick.
The study of about 2,000 people revealed that one in five employees worked through their lunch.
Half of those who did manage to take a break ate at their desk, one in five went outside and 3% went to the gym.
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy called on employers to encourage staff to be more physically active during the working day to reduce their risk of developing health problems.
