The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, second edition, recommend that all adults participate in moderate-intensity equivalent aerobic physical activity at least 150-300 min/week for substantial health benefits and muscle-strengthening activities involving all major muscle groups 2 or more days a week. The prevalence of the general population meeting the Guidelines and the types of physical activity in which they engage have been described elsewhere. Similar descriptions are lacking for individuals with mobility disability whose physical activity profiles may differ from the general population.
This study examined patterns of aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity among US adults with mobility disability.
We used 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from 66,635 adults with mobility disability. We estimated the percentage who engaged in any aerobic physical activity, met the aerobic and/or muscle-strengthening guidelines, and who participated in specific activities.
Less than half (45.2%) of US adults with mobility disability reported engaging in aerobic physical activity, and 39.5% met one or both components of the physical activity guidelines. Walking was the most commonly reported activity type (34.0%).
Walking is a common activity type among adults with mobility disability. Efforts to make walking or wheelchair rolling a safe, viable option are important to helping decrease barriers that may limit the ability of those with mobility disability to engage in walking or other physical activity types.
《美国人身体活动指南》（第二版）建议所有成年人每周至少进行 150-300 分钟中等强度的有氧运动，以获得实质性的健康益处，并每周至少进行 2 天涉及所有主要肌肉群的增强肌肉力量活动。一般人群中符合指南的比例以及他们参与的身体活动类型在其他地方已有描述。但对于行动不便的个体，他们的身体活动模式可能与一般人群不同，因此缺乏类似的描述。
本研究旨在调查美国行动不便的成年人的有氧运动和增强肌肉力量的身体活动模式。
我们使用了 2017 年来自 66635 名行动不便成年人的行为风险因素监测系统数据。我们估计了任何形式的有氧运动、符合有氧运动和/或增强肌肉力量指南以及参与特定活动的人的百分比。
不到一半（45.2%）的美国行动不便成年人报告进行了有氧运动，39.5%的人符合身体活动指南的一项或两项要求。步行是最常报告的活动类型（34.0%）。
步行是行动不便成年人常见的活动类型。努力使步行或轮椅滚动成为安全可行的选择，对于帮助减少可能限制行动不便者进行步行或其他身体活动类型的障碍非常重要。
