Leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) at the recommended levels is associated with an improvement in the general health condition and the lower risk of illness and death. Several factors influence this practice, including individual and environmental characteristics. In this context, work characteristics and conditions play an important role, since it has the potential to act both as a protective factor and as a risk factor for LTPA. However, little is known about the practice of LTPA in specific occupations. The aimsof this study were to investigate LTPA among judicial workers of Minas Gerais (MG) state, analyze its relationship with sociodemographicand work characteristics and conditions, and compare the percentage of LTPA among the judicial workers with that identified for population of Belo Horizonte and Minas Gerais state.This is a crosssectional analytical study with data representative of the judicial workers of Minas Gerais (JUSTICEL) (n = 1,005). Based on information on the type, frequency and duration of LTPA, the percentage of sufficient practice (150min / week) was identified. Poisson regression models were used to analyze the relationship between LTPA and sociodemographic and health characteristics (gender, age, schooling, marital status, presence of non-communicable diseases (NCD)) work characteristics and conditions (income, total weekly hours, flexible schedule, necessity to work more than stipulated in contract and demand-control scale). The percentage of sufficient LTPA identified among judicial workers was then compared - without adjustment and equating the demographic characteristics of the populations (sex, age and schooling) - to that identified for the adult population ( 18 years) of Belo Horizonte (in 2016) and the state of Minas Gerais (in 2013) with the help of supplementary databases (VIGITEL 2016 for Belo Horizonte and PNS 2013 for the state of Minas Gerais). The judicial workers presented a high percentage of LTPA (56.9%), with great homogeneity among its strata. Higher percentages were observed in males, among those with partners and those without NCDs (result obtained in multivariate regression model adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, health, characteristics and working conditions). LTPA level among judicial workers was higher than the one identified in the adult population of Belo Horizonte (40.7%) and the state of Minas Gerais (22.8%). Equating the demographic characteristics of the populations reduced the differences in an important way, but it was not enough to eliminate the superiority of the judiciary's workers. In conclusion, judicial workers presented a high prevalence of LTPA, due to their favored sociodemographic composition and homogeneous levels of practice in the population strata.
