Office workers who take short, frequent breaks during the working day have more stamina and fewer aches and pains when they return to work, a new US study suggests.

Breaks are particularly re-energising if workers spend the time doing something they enjoy, the study found.

The study shows a link between taking breaks and other important outcomes that employers may care about: Higher job satisfaction, reduced emotional exhaustion and greater efforts by employees to undertake work above-and-beyond their job description, the study authors said.
