Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Wearable Activity Trackers (WATs) offer real-time feedback on activity levels. We assessed the impact of WAT usage on physicians' exercise habits.

METHODS

Physicians from the Athens Medical Association, Greece (n = 742) responded to a self-administered questionnaire evaluating usage of WAT, demographic characteristics, specialty, and physical exercise habits. WHO guidelines recommend at least 150 min/week of moderate-intensity exercise in all healthy adults. Subjects were divided in Users of WATs (Group A), and Non-Users of WATs (Group B). This is an observational, cross-sectional study.

RESULTS

There was no difference in baseline characteristics between the two groups (age, sex, body mass index). WATs were used by 38%. Between Group A and B, there was difference in mean exercise training time (302 ± 304 min vs. 210 ± 268 min, < 0.001), higher percentage of WHO goal achievement (66.3% vs. 50.7%, < 0.001), and greater awareness of WHO Guidelines (59.9% vs. 47.4%, < 0.001). WATs were mostly used by four main specialties, with higher use from Cardiologists: Cardiology (47%), Endocrinology (44%), Surgery (35%) and Internal Medicine (25%), with a = 0.045. Finally, users of WATs compared to non-users showed higher willingness to reduce body weight (58.5% vs. 48%, = 0.01), apply dietary restrictions (36.5% vs. 29.6%, = 0.05), and greater motivation for weekly physical exercise (74.1% vs. 32.4%, < 0.001); Conclusion: Physicians using WATs demonstrate increased exercise training time, greater awareness of WHO guidelines and a higher propensity to implement dietary restrictions compared to non-users. Variations in WAT usage across medical specialties emphasize the need for targeted interventions to promote physical activity and enhance healthcare professionals' health.

摘要

引言

可穿戴活动追踪器（WATs）能提供活动水平的实时反馈。我们评估了使用WATs对医生锻炼习惯的影响。

方法

来自希腊雅典医学协会的医生（n = 742）回答了一份自我管理问卷，该问卷评估了WATs的使用情况、人口统计学特征、专业和体育锻炼习惯。世界卫生组织指南建议所有健康成年人每周至少进行150分钟的中等强度运动。受试者被分为WATs使用者（A组）和非WATs使用者（B组）。这是一项观察性横断面研究。

结果

两组之间的基线特征（年龄、性别、体重指数）没有差异。38%的人使用WATs。在A组和B组之间，平均运动训练时间存在差异（302±304分钟对210±268分钟，<0.001），实现世界卫生组织目标的百分比更高（66.3%对50.7%，<0.001），对世界卫生组织指南的知晓率更高（59.9%对47.4%，<0.001）。WATs主要被四个主要专业的医生使用，心脏病专家的使用率更高：心脏病学（47%）、内分泌学（44%）、外科（35%）和内科（25%），P = 0.045。最后，与非使用者相比，WATs使用者表现出更高的减肥意愿（58.5%对48%，P = 0.01）、实施饮食限制的意愿（36.5%对29.6%，P = 0.05）以及每周体育锻炼的更大动力（74.1%对32.4%，<0.001）。结论：与非使用者相比，使用WATs的医生表现出增加的运动训练时间、对世界卫生组织指南的更高知晓率以及实施饮食限制的更高倾向。不同医学专业在WATs使用上的差异强调了需要有针对性的干预措施来促进身体活动并改善医疗专业人员的健康状况。
