As health care providers, certified athletic trainers (ATs) should be role models for healthy behaviors.
To analyze the self-reported health and fitness habits of ATs.
A cross-sectional, cluster random sample.
Online questionnaire.
Of a sampling frame of 1000 potential participants, 275 ATs completed the questionnaire.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Health habits and activity were based on a typical 7-day week.
A total of 41% of the participants met the exercise recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine; 7% reported being sedentary. Differences were noted between the sexes for fitness habits (P < .035) and composite health score (P < .001). None of the ATs reported meeting the Daily Reference Intake for all 5 food groups. Seven percent of female ATs consumed more alcohol than recommended, compared with 2% of males. However, 80% of males and 93% of females reported consuming 5 or fewer drinks per week. Only 0.8% reported currently smoking.
This sample of ATs had better health and fitness habits than the general population but did not meet professional recommendations set forth by the American College of Sports Medicine or the United States Department of Agriculture. Thus, these ATs were not ideal role models in demonstrating healthy behaviors.
作为医疗保健提供者，认证运动训练师（AT）应成为健康行为的榜样。
分析运动训练师自我报告的健康和健身习惯。
横断面整群随机抽样。
在线问卷。
在1000名潜在参与者的抽样框架中，275名运动训练师完成了问卷。
健康习惯和活动基于典型的一周7天。
共有41%的参与者达到了美国运动医学学院的运动建议；7%的人报告久坐不动。在健身习惯（P < 0.035）和综合健康评分（P < 0.001）方面，男女之间存在差异。没有运动训练师报告所有5个食物组都达到每日参考摄入量。7%的女性运动训练师饮酒量超过建议量，而男性为2%。然而，80%的男性和93%的女性报告每周饮酒5杯或更少。只有0.8%的人报告目前吸烟。
这个运动训练师样本的健康和健身习惯比一般人群更好，但未达到美国运动医学学院或美国农业部提出的专业建议。因此，这些运动训练师在展示健康行为方面并非理想的榜样。
