Workers spend a large amount of time working, limiting the possibility of meeting physical activity (PA) guidelines. A better health-related quality of life (HRQoL) provides benefits for the employee and company. The aim of this study was to analyse the associations of four behavioural categories between compliance with PA guidelines (aerobic and strength training) and sedentary time with workers&rsquo: HRQoL. We classified the sample into four categories: (1) &ldquo:Physically active &: low sedentary&rdquo:, (2) &ldquo:Physically active &: high sedentary&rdquo:, (3) &ldquo:Physically inactive &: low sedentary&rdquo:, and (4) &ldquo:Physically inactive &: high sedentary&rdquo:. Student&rsquo:s t-tests for two independent samples and a multiple linear regression adjusted for covariates were performed. A total of 1004 employees of the multinational company Grupo Red Elé:ctrica participated. Compliance with PA guidelines and a low level of sedentarism were associated with higher HRQoL (p <: 0.001). Compared to &ldquo:physically inactive &: high sedentary&rdquo:, &ldquo:physically active &: low sedentary&rdquo: and &ldquo:physically active &: high sedentary&rdquo: workers obtained a better HRQoL (B = 5.47: p = 0.006 and B = 4.10: p = 0.003: respectively). In this sample of Spanish workers, being physically active was associated with a better HRQoL, even in those with high sedentary time. Experimental studies are needed to confirm our results.
