Every work, especially professional work, induces fatigue which diminishes work efficacy. Active rests with aim-oriented recreational activities implemented in the work process are very efficacious in removing fatigue symptoms. The paper discusses examples and mechanisms of making work and recovery faster and more successful by programming physical activity at the beginning of work and during regular and added rests in accordance with the established critical time during the eight-hour work shift.
