Abstract : The study sought to determine the physical fitness lifestyle of sedentary workers of Adekunle Ajasin University,
Akungba-Akoko. The descriptive survey design was utilized. Two hundred (200) senior members of staff from academics
and non -academics were randomly selected from all departments centres and units in the University. A structured selfdeveloped,
valid and reliable questionnaire was the major instrument used for data collection. The data collected were
analyzed using percentage, mean and Chi-square (X2). The study revealed that the Senior Staff of Adekunle Ajasin
University (A.A.U.A) do not exercise to enhance their endurance, strength and mental alertness and this consequently
brought about negative effects of sedentarism such as Coronary heart disease, Obesity, Depression, Lower back pains,
Hypertension and other Disabilities. Participation in moderate physical exercises helps in producing a wide range of physical
socio-psychological and biochemical changes on the participants. Some recommendations were made based on the findings.
