This study aimed to assess exercise habits and facility resources accessible to southeastern US firefighters.
Firefighters completed questionnaires on topics including demographics, work demands, exercise methods, and facility resources.
Sixty-six percent of participants reported they engage in exercise ≥30 min/d. More firefighters engaged in exercise when better on-site equipment options were available ( P = 0.001). Perception of how on-shift exercise impacts occupational performance did not impact their on-shift exercise ( P = 0.17).
Although 34% reported not meeting exercise guidelines, the majority of southeastern US firefighters reported meeting these guidelines and allotted exercise time on-shift. Exercise habits are impacted by equipment options, but not call volume or perception of on-shift exercise. Open-ended question responses suggested that perception of on-shift exercise did not deter firefighters from exercising on-shift but may impact intensity.
本研究旨在评估美国东南部消防员的锻炼习惯和可及的设施资源。
消防员填写了有关人口统计学、工作需求、锻炼方法和设施资源等主题的问卷。
66%的参与者报告说他们每天进行≥30 分钟的锻炼。当现场设备选择更好时，更多的消防员进行锻炼（P=0.001）。对锻炼如何影响职业表现的看法并不会影响他们的轮班锻炼（P=0.17）。
尽管 34%的人报告没有达到锻炼指南的要求，但美国东南部的大多数消防员报告达到了这些指南的要求，并在轮班时安排了锻炼时间。锻炼习惯受到设备选项的影响，但不受呼叫量或对轮班锻炼的看法的影响。开放式问题的回答表明，对轮班锻炼的看法并没有阻止消防员在轮班时进行锻炼，但可能会影响锻炼强度。
