The main aim of the present study is to evaluate reach, dose, fidelity, and outcomes of the interventions for promoting voluntary exercise training among South Korean firefighters. Four interventions for promoting voluntary exercise training among firefighters (i.e., virtual reality exercise system intervention, poster intervention, monitor intervention, and wearable health device intervention) were performed in a fire station located in Seoul, South Korea. To evaluate reach and dose received related to each intervention, participants were asked to answer several simple questions. Three process evaluators completed a 20-item survey to share their impressions related to the quality of intervention delivery. Paired test was used to examine mean changes in primary (i.e., mean minutes of exercise training per week) and secondary outcomes (i.e., beliefs and intention) between pre- and postinterventions. More than 60% of participants experienced monitor and wearable health device interventions. Process evaluators tend not to agree with a statement saying that the number of the virtual reality exercise equipment was appropriate. Among firefighters who participated in exercise training less than 150 min per week at 1-month follow-up, mean minutes of exercise training per week increased by 67.95 min after interventions. Future studies need to examine whether the monitor and wearable health device interventions effectively increase exercise training participation among firefighters in other fire stations located in Seoul, South Korea.
本研究的主要目的是评估在韩国消防员中推广自愿性运动训练的干预措施的可及性、剂量、保真度和效果。在位于韩国首尔的一个消防站中，对四种促进消防员自愿性运动训练的干预措施（即虚拟现实运动系统干预、海报干预、监测器干预和可穿戴健康设备干预）进行了评估。为了评估与每项干预措施相关的可及性和剂量，参与者被要求回答几个简单的问题。三名过程评估员完成了一份 20 项的调查，以分享他们对干预措施提供质量的印象。配对 t 检验用于检验干预前后主要（即每周运动训练的平均分钟数）和次要结果（即信念和意图）的均值变化。超过 60%的参与者体验了监测器和可穿戴健康设备干预措施。过程评估员往往不同意一项说法，即虚拟现实运动设备的数量是合适的。在 1 个月随访时每周运动训练少于 150 分钟的消防员中，干预后每周运动训练的平均分钟数增加了 67.95 分钟。未来的研究需要检验监测器和可穿戴健康设备干预措施是否能有效地增加首尔其他消防站消防员的运动训练参与度。
