Abstract
Changes in contemporary life, especially in technology, bring a lot of changes in humans. Sedentary
life style and decreased level of physical activity are one of the changes of new time and negative effects as
well. The list of problems reported after a prolonged time of sitting is very long and all they have effects on
entire human health and wellbeing. University teachers with all their requirements and obligations have very
few time for physical activity resulting many hours spent in sitting and without being physical active. In order
to determine the real situation regarded time spent in sitting and measures that they take for overcoming this
situation we realized a research on a sample of 15 university teachers at the Faculty of Educational Sciences
at Goce Delcev University in Stip, Republic of Macedonia. The research was conducted via open interview
and the obtained results suggested a lot of time spent in sitting during the day, particularly from 6 to 7 hours
a day of 42 – 43 hours a week. All of them reported problems such as headache, back pains, problems with
legs and eyes etc and reported that they did not practice any form of physical activity and did not have a break.
The questions also referred to active break or active rest by short video that have an effect to energize the body
and refresh the mind. Therefore, we recommend brain breaks as a form of mental break and continuing with
effective work. In this regard, the University should be posted in a position to create such videos for active
break and make them available for all teachers to be used.
