description Introduction: physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes and allows weight control, musculoskeletal health, providing psychological benefits. Health staff is important to advise on physical activity. It is interesting to know if they comply with the current recommendations. Objective: to study the physical activity, sedentary time, cholesterol, fasting blood glucose and nutritional status of health professionals. Methods: 322 health workers of both sexes from hospitals in Buenos Aires were studied. A physical activity questionnaire was implemented, and fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, age, sex, weight and height were studied. Results: the average age was 40.7 years, 40% did not perform enough physical activity. The assets have a better nutritional status (p = 0.041), and a high percentage of healthy cholesterol levels (73.5%). The average sedentary time was 347.83 minutes, 67% reported more than 4 hours. Discussion: That the health professional perform physical activity is important, and should be trained during their undergraduate studies. The promotion of adequate physical activity habits during their education is important to improve the advice they will provide later. You can be active, comply with physical activity recommendations, and also be sedentary, if you have several hours sitting. Active pauses are useful to counteract this phenomenon, its implementation should be normative. Conclusions: approximately 60% of the group of professionals performs physical activity at recommended levels, but sedentary behavior is high. Policies could be implemented that help reduce sedentary time.

Introducción: la actividad física reduce el riesgo de padecer afecciones cardíacas, diabetes y permite controlar el peso, la salud osteomuscular, aportando beneficios psicológicos. El personal de salud es importante para asesorar sobre actividad física. Resulta interesante conocer si cumplen con las recomendaciones actuales. Objetivo: estudiar la actividad física, tiempo sedentario, colesterol, glucemia en ayunas y estado nutricional de profesionales de salud. Métodos: se estudiaron 322 trabajadores de salud de ambos sexos de hospitales de Buenos Aires. Se implementó un cuestionario de actividad física y se estudió la glucemia en ayunas, colesterol, edad, sexo, peso y talla. Resultados: la edad promedio fue 40.7 años, 40% no realiza actividad física suficiente. Los activos poseen un mejor estado nutricional (p=0.041), y alto porcentaje de niveles saludables de colesterol (73.5%). El tiempo sedentario promedio fue 347.83 minutos, 67% reporto más de 4 horas. Discusión: Que el personal de la salud realice actividad física es importante, entre ellos, los médicos deberían formarse sobre el tema durante sus estudios de grado. La promoción de hábitos adecuados de actividad física durante su educación es importante para mejorar el asesoramiento que proporcionaran luego. Se puede ser activo, cumplir con recomendaciones de actividad física, y también ser sedentario, si se queda varias horas sentado. Las pausas activas son útiles para contrarrestar este fenómeno, su implementación debiera ser normativa. Conclusiones: aproximadamente el 60% del grupo de profesionales realiza actividad física en niveles recomendados, pero la conducta sedentaria es elevada. Se podrían implementar políticas que contribuyan a disminuir el tiempo sedentario.
