The results of this study show that the desired pattern of physical activity is to use free time, even though they have difficulty managing time and lack motivation. There is a need for health policy at the university to apply a healthy lifestyle, such as walking between buildings, using stairs, doing independent exercise between working hours, procuring bicycles for transportation between buildings, and maximizing sports facilities management. Conclusion: The physical activity pattern of lecturers mostly utilizes the free time to walk between buildings, go to mosques, and long distances parking to the premises in the university environment.
