ABSTRACT

In Ireland, farmers have been identified as a high-risk population, with higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and overall mortality, compared with the general population. Farming has always been considered a physically active lifestyle. However, in recent times, with the increased use of technology and machinery, farmers may not be completing as much physical activity as before. There is a lack of research on physical activity patterns, fitness, and perception about exercise among farmers. Physical activity patterns were assessed using ActivPAL₃ micro monitors for a duration of 7 consecutive days. Aerobic capacity was measured using a validated sub-maximal exercise test to calculate Metabolic Equivalent Task (MET) levels. The Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale (EBBS) questionnaire was used to explore perceived benefits and barriers towards exercise. Farmers completed a mean (standard deviation) of 16,452 (5,170) steps and 124 (43) minutes of moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) daily. The volume of weekly MVPA was largely accumulated in bouts lasting <10 minutes, with only 17.89% completing bouts of ≥10 minutes. Daily sitting time was 8.26 hours. Farmers are fit, have positive perceptions about exercise, and complete large quantities of physical activity, but not in a CVD protective pattern. CVD risk can be reduced in this population by encouraging them to sit less and engage in MVPA in bouts of ≥10 minutes, in line with current guidelines.

爱尔兰中西部地区男性农民体力活动模式、有氧能力和运动观念的横断面分析

摘要

在爱尔兰,农民被确定为高危人群,与普通人群相比,他们的心血管疾病 (CVD) 和总体死亡率更高。农业一直被认为是一种积极的生活方式。然而,近年来,随着技术和机械使用的增加,农民可能没有像以前那样完成那么多的体力活动。缺乏对农民的体育活动模式、健康状况和对运动的看法的研究。连续 7 天使用 ActivPAL₃ 微型监视器评估身体活动模式。使用经过验证的次最大运动测试来测量有氧能力,以计算代谢当量任务 (MET) 水平。运动益处和障碍量表 (EBBS) 问卷用于探索运动的感知益处和障碍。农民每天平均完成 16,452 (5,170) 步和 124 (43) 分钟的中等强度体力活动 (MVPA)。每周 MVPA 的量主要在持续 <10 分钟的回合中累积,只有 17.89% 的回合完成≥10 分钟。每天的坐姿时间为 8.26 小时。农民身体健康,对运动有积极的看法,并且完成了大量的身体活动,但不是 CVD 保护模式。根据目前的指南,鼓励他们少坐并在 ≥10 分钟内参与 MVPA,可以降低该人群的 CVD 风险。每天 170 步和 124 (43) 分钟中等强度的体力活动 (MVPA)。每周 MVPA 的量主要在持续 <10 分钟的回合中累积,只有 17.89% 的回合完成≥10 分钟。每天的坐姿时间为 8.26 小时。农民身体健康,对运动有积极的看法,并且完成了大量的身体活动,但不是 CVD 保护模式。根据目前的指南,鼓励他们少坐并在 ≥10 分钟内参与 MVPA,可以降低该人群的 CVD 风险。每天 170 步和 124 (43) 分钟中等强度的体力活动 (MVPA)。每周 MVPA 的量主要在持续 <10 分钟的回合中累积,只有 17.89% 的回合完成≥10 分钟。每天的坐姿时间为 8.26 小时。农民身体健康,对运动有积极的看法,并且完成了大量的身体活动,但不是 CVD 保护模式。根据目前的指南,鼓励他们少坐并在 ≥10 分钟内参与 MVPA,可以降低该人群的 CVD 风险。并完成大量的身体活动,但不是以 CVD 保护模式。根据目前的指南,鼓励他们少坐并在 ≥10 分钟内参与 MVPA,可以降低该人群的 CVD 风险。并完成大量的身体活动,但不是以 CVD 保护模式。根据目前的指南,鼓励他们少坐并在 ≥10 分钟内参与 MVPA,可以降低该人群的 CVD 风险。
