Participants were compared by gender, profession, and work setting.</span></span></span></span><br> <span style=font-size:10pt><span style=unicode-bidi:embed><span new= roman= style=font-family: times=><b><span cambria= style=font-family:>Findings</span></b><b><span cambria= style=font-family:>:</span></b><span cambria= style=font-family:> The only differences in the HPLP-II scores were found for the sub-scale health responsibility where female participants and those working in community care scored higher (p<0.001; p=0.038). Ratings of the overall health status were higher for male respondents (p=0.030). Male respondents accumulated higher levels of physical activity in the work and leisure domain as well as vigorous-intensity physical activity (p=0.034; p=0.001; p=0.004). Nurses accumulated higher levels of moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity (p=0.021; p=0.034). There was a positive relationship between the rating of the overall health status and levels of physical activity in the domain of leisure (p=0.047).</span></span></span></span><br> <span style=font-size:10pt><span style=unicode-bidi:embed><span new= roman= style=font-family: times=><b><span cambria= style=font-family:>Conclusion</span></b><b><span cambria= style=font-family:>:</span></b><span cambria= style=font-family:> Nurses and physiotherapists reported high levels of physical activity, but relatively low levels of leisure-time physical activity.
