The purpose of the study was to analyze the level of postural stability and physical activity of at-height workers. The study included 34 healthy men aged 25-43. Two groups were identified based on the type of work they performed: at-height workers (HW) ( n = 17), and office workers (OW) ( n = 17). Physical activity, including physical activity at work, sports activity, and leisure, was assessed with a Baecke questionnaire. For evaluation of postural stability, the one-leg standing test with eyes open and closed was used. The HW group had a higher rate of average physical activity at work than the OW group ( p = .000), whereas the OW group showed greater physical activity during leisure time ( p = .000). No differences were found between the groups in terms of sports activity. Postural stability analysis shows that the HW group ( p < .05) scored statistically significantly higher values in one-leg standing with eyes closed. The groups differed in terms of postural stability in favor of HW. At the same time, despite differences in particular aspects, the overall level of PA was similar. This may indicate that postural stability is rather affected by exposure to distress conditions.
该研究的目的是分析高空作业人员的姿势稳定性水平和身体活动情况。该研究纳入了34名年龄在25 - 43岁之间的健康男性。根据他们所从事的工作类型分为两组：高空作业人员（HW）（n = 17）和办公室工作人员（OW）（n = 17）。使用贝克问卷评估身体活动，包括工作中的身体活动、体育活动和休闲活动。为了评估姿势稳定性，采用了睁眼和闭眼单腿站立测试。HW组工作时的平均身体活动率高于OW组（p = .000），而OW组在休闲时间表现出更大的身体活动量（p = .000）。两组在体育活动方面未发现差异。姿势稳定性分析表明，HW组在闭眼单腿站立测试中的得分在统计学上显著更高（p < .05）。两组在姿势稳定性方面存在差异，HW组更具优势。同时，尽管在特定方面存在差异，但总体身体活动水平相似。这可能表明姿势稳定性受困境暴露的影响较大。
