Participation in marching band requires intense physical and mental requirements, altered and potentially elevated biomechanical demands related to performing musical instruments while marching, routine exposures to elevated noise levels and at times hazardous weather conditions, and time commitments for practice and travel. Unfortunately, there are no known epidemiologic studies that systematically examine the perception of health-related consequences among college students participating in a collegiate marching band. There are no known studies that attempt to understand if the perceived consequences of marching band are different for students majoring in music compared to non-music major students. In response to this deficiency, this study collected and characterized occupational health patterns and concerns associated with participation in a collegiate marching band. Members of a large collegiate marching band (n=246/310, 76%) responded to a 70-item epidemiologic survey. Results reveal patterns of health concerns and how they differ when compared across music majors vs non-music majors and instrument groups.
参加行进管乐队需要极高的身体和精神条件，在行进时演奏乐器会带来改变且可能增加的生物力学需求，日常暴露于高强度噪音水平以及有时恶劣的天气条件下，还有练习和出行所需投入的时间。不幸的是，尚无已知的流行病学研究系统地调查参与大学行进管乐队的大学生对与健康相关后果的认知。也没有已知的研究试图了解，与非音乐专业学生相比，音乐专业学生对行进管乐队所感知到的后果是否有所不同。针对这一不足，本研究收集并描述了与参与大学行进管乐队相关的职业健康模式及担忧。一个大型大学行进管乐队的成员（n = 246/310，76%）对一项包含70个项目的流行病学调查做出了回应。结果揭示了健康担忧模式，以及这些模式在音乐专业与非音乐专业学生和乐器组之间的差异。
