Abstract

The basic meaning of inactive lifestyle is doing sedentary activities. This includes playing video games, watching TV, operating computers, and sitting in a particular place for a long time. It may be sitting on the train or in bus, car, or office. This has many adverse effects on our bodies. This paper emphasizes the importance of physical activity, and a case study is presented to support the hypothesis that physical activity can certainly help improve human health. The diseases caused by inactive life are discussed in our paper. In this paper, a case study is described in which 200 individuals have participated in an activity called "Activity is Life," with the goal of improving the sedentary lifestyle and getting rid of physical ailments. The usage of analytical tools is made to analyse the data collected from the empirical research study, and IoT-based smart devices are used to capture the runtime data. The physicians and nurses have odd working hours, they have to go through many stress-induced situations, and most of them are suffering from life-threatening diseases such as depression, hypertension, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. The main reason is inactivity in their lifestyles. To carry out an experimental study and to see the impact of regular activities on the health of doctors and nurses, a program was designed where 200 participants have participated. It is found that the activity-based 30-day program yielded great health benefits, including reduction in stress level, improvement in sleep quality index, and improvement in blood pressure values.
