Why is it important?
Our study adds useful information to the body of evidence between domain specific, relative PA and HRQoL, which could assist public health efforts in promoting positive health messages and health interventions to improve lifestyles, particularly, in young adult men.
Perspectives
The total amount of PA does not appear to be as beneficial to HRQoL as does relatively high amount of leisure-time PA. The present findings provide valuable information of negative associations in HRQoL between excessive occupational PA and daily sitting time. In contrast, relatively high leisure-time PA indicated a better HRQoL regardless of the amount of total PA. In the future studies, it will be important to assess domain-specific and relative PA, sitting time included, and not only total PA.
