There are many potential training exercises for office workers in an attempt to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. However, to date a suitable tool to monitor the perceived exertion of those exercises does not exist.
The primary objective of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Borg CR-10 scale to monitor the perceived exertion of office exercise training.
The study involved 105 staff members employed in a government office with an age range from 25 to 50 years. The Borg CR-10 scale was self-administered two times, with an interval of two weeks in order to evaluate the accuracy of the original findings with a retest. Face validity and content validity were also examined.
Reliability was found to be high for the Borg CR-10 scale (0.898). Additionally a high correlation between the Borg CR-10 scale and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was identified (rs = 0.754, P < 0.01).
This study found the Borg CR-10 scale to be a reliable and valid tool for monitoring the perceived exertion of office exercise training and may potentially be useful for occupational therapists to measure physical activity intensity levels.
为预防肌肉骨骼疾病,针对办公室职员有许多潜在的训练方法。然而,迄今为止,尚无合适的工具来监测这些训练的主观用力程度。
本研究的主要目的是检验博格CR-10量表监测办公室锻炼训练主观用力程度的有效性和可靠性。
该研究纳入了105名年龄在25至50岁之间的政府办公室职员。博格CR-10量表由受试者自行填写两次,间隔两周,以便通过重测评估原始结果的准确性。同时还检验了表面效度和内容效度。
发现博格CR-10量表的信度较高(0.898)。此外,还确定了博格CR-10量表与视觉模拟量表(VAS)之间存在高度相关性(rs = 0.754,P < 0.01)。
本研究发现博格CR-10量表是监测办公室锻炼训练主观用力程度的可靠且有效的工具,可能对职业治疗师测量身体活动强度水平有用。
