Resistance training research highlights the importance of training intensity to resistance exercise training (RET) and the associated benefits to health and function for healthy and at-risk populations. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommend specific intensities, frequencies, repetitions, and number of exercises of RET to be performed to maintain health. The primary aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of achieving recommended levels of RET in relation to ACSM guidelines for intensity, frequency, repetitions, and number of exercises in a regional Australian population.
A Computer-Assisted-Telephone-Interview (CATI) survey (n=1237) was conducted to determine RET participation.
Participants were 18 years plus, residing in Central Queensland, Australia.
The prevalence of respondents performing 'No RET', 'insufficient RET' and 'sufficient RET' were 79.6.0%, 15.2% and 5.2% respectively. Significantly higher proportions of younger adults adhered to all RET guidelines for intensity (19.2 vs 8.1%), frequency (19.9 vs 11.6%), repetitions (17.8 vs 6.3%), and number of exercises (8.2 vs 3.6%) (p<0.05). Significantly higher proportions of males, younger adults (18-34 years), higher educated individuals (>15 years), and individuals engaging in sufficient levels of aerobic exercise training (AET) engaged in sufficient levels of RET (p<0.05).
The prevalence of Australian's participating in regular RET programs is low and only a small proportion of participants meet ACSM guidelines for the quantity and quality of RET that is likely to provide health benefits. This has implications for public health policy and the future development and promotion of population-level RET guidelines.
抗阻训练研究强调了训练强度对抗阻运动训练（RET）的重要性，以及对健康人群和高危人群的健康和功能的相关益处。美国运动医学学院（ACSM）建议特定的强度、频率、重复次数和 RET 运动的练习数量，以保持健康。本研究的主要目的是描述在澳大利亚一个地区人群中，达到 ACSM 关于强度、频率、重复次数和练习数量的 RET 建议水平的流行率。
采用计算机辅助电话访谈（CATI）调查（n=1237）来确定 RET 的参与情况。
参与者年龄在 18 岁及以上，居住在澳大利亚昆士兰中部。
“不进行 RET”、“RET 不足”和“进行充分 RET”的受访者比例分别为 79.6.0%、15.2%和 5.2%。年轻成年人更遵守 RET 强度（19.2%比 8.1%）、频率（19.9%比 11.6%）、重复次数（17.8%比 6.3%）和练习数量（8.2%比 3.6%）的所有 RET 指南的比例显著更高（p<0.05）。男性、年轻成年人（18-34 岁）、受教育程度较高（>15 年）和进行充分有氧运动训练（AET）的个体，进行充分 RET 的比例显著更高（p<0.05）。
澳大利亚人定期参加 RET 计划的比例较低，只有一小部分参与者符合 ACSM 关于 RET 数量和质量的指南，这些指南可能提供健康益处。这对公共卫生政策以及 RET 人群指南的未来制定和推广具有影响。
