The quality of life of industrial workers has gained a greater role in several surveys over time, seeking to understand how the improvement in quality of life reflects on the quality of services provided by them to industries. The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between incidental physical activity with the quality of life and body mass index of employees of a textile industry in the city of Jaraguá-GO. Using an SF-36 questionnaire consisting of 36 questions, a pedometer to measure the number of steps and a scale with a stadiometer to correlate these two data. The sample consisted of 37 people, 13 women and 24 men working in the textile industry, aged between 18 and 46 years old and with various occupational functions within the company. Incidental physical activity performed at work has shown to influence the quality of life of the volunteers, highlighting aspects such as vitality, mental health and Body Mass Index (BMI). It is concluded from the data analysis that there is a relationship between incidental physical activity in the quality of life of workers in this textile industry, with emphasis on the possibility of minimizing physical pain (r = -0.424 p = 0.00), improving mental health ( r = 0.699 p = 0.00), in addition to the strong tendency to impact aspects related to physical classification (r = 0.305 p = 0.06), improving the physical and mental quality of life of employees. Even with such findings, there is a need for further research to compare the evaluation of data and scenarios.
