BACKGROUND: Physical fitness is essential for all aspects of our lives. Cardiovascular and respiratory fitness are indicators of the body's ability to withstand long-term exercise. Low physical fitness and a sedentary lifestyle are the most common risk factors for cardiovascular disease and other causes of death and illness. High levels of cardiovascular and respiratory fitness provide reliable and independent information about the risk of disease and death associated with cardiovascular causes. Desktop workers must maintain a good level of physical fitness to meet their needs. However, due to a lack of focus on physical fitness, there has been a rise in Musculoskeletal disorders. This study sought to determine the physical fitness and comparison of desktop workers. AIM: The goal of the study is to determine the relationship between Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Sitting Time in Desktop Workers. METHODOLOGY: A survey research study of 100 convenient samplings. RESULTS: The correlation analysis between the total sitting time in a week and the physical fitness index among the surveyed desktop workers indicates a weak positive correlation between the total sitting time in a week and physical fitness. However, this correlation is not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The study infers that the correlation analysis between the total sitting time in a week and the physical fitness index among the surveyed desktop workers indicates a negative correlation. Thus, it proves the null hypothesis.
