Can leisure-time physical activity improve health checkup results? Evidence from Japanese occupational panel data

We examined the extent to which changes in worker health, as measured by health checkup items, were associated with increased intensity of leisure‐time physical activity (LTPA) after controlling for individual time‐invariant attributes.
