The objective is to address the direct relationship between the professional routine of these workers and physical inactivity, which interferes with the quality of life of these professionals and can cause several congenital diseases related to the lack of physical exercise. The study is carried out through bibliographic research and comparison of results, which show that higher education workers dedicate a good part of their lives to work, due to the crowded routine and the double work hours resulting from their profession, and these habits directly affect the pattern of physical exercise practiced by these professionals, with a difference between the level of physical activity practiced by men and women. This study is important to highlight the relationship between lifestyle and sedentary lifestyle for this professional class.
