Research suggests that one-third of Norwegian adults satisfy national health recommendations for physical activity, but little knowledge exists regarding activity levels in different occupations.
This study investigates the level at which kindergarten staff fulfil these health recommendations, and examines differences in physical activity levels of staff working mainly with toddlers (1-3 years) and older children (4-6 years). The study also investigates physical activity level during working time and leisure time.
Physical activity levels among 43 kindergarten staff members were measured utilizing accelerometers and questionnaires.
The results demonstrate that 86% of kindergarten staff satisfy the health recommendations for physical activity. Moreover, kindergarten staff working with older children were significantly more physically active than staff working with toddlers.
Physical activity level during working time was found to be of major significance for fulfilling the health recommendations among kindergarten staff working with toddlers.
研究表明，三分之一的挪威成年人满足国家对体育活动的健康建议，但对于不同职业的活动水平知之甚少。
本研究调查了幼儿园工作人员达到这些健康建议的水平，并研究了主要照顾 1-3 岁幼儿和 4-6 岁儿童的工作人员之间的体力活动水平差异。该研究还调查了工作时间和闲暇时间的体力活动水平。
利用加速度计和问卷测量了 43 名幼儿园工作人员的体力活动水平。
结果表明，86%的幼儿园工作人员满足了体育活动的健康建议。此外，照顾大孩子的幼儿园工作人员比照顾幼儿的工作人员更活跃。
对于照顾幼儿的幼儿园工作人员来说，工作时间的体力活动水平对满足健康建议具有重要意义。
