目的：描述那些报告符合2008年美国人身体活动指南（2008年指南）每周2天或以上肌肉强化标准的人，包括所有7个肌肉群，并评估进行肌肉强化活动的类型和位置。方法：数据来自HealthStyles 2009，一项横断面消费者邮件调查，用于分析（n = 4，271）。计算符合2008年指南标准的患病率估计值及其95%置信区间。进行成对t检验以检查估计值之间的差异，在年龄、教育程度和体重指数（BMI）组之间进行线性趋势检验，并且在p <0.05时认为差异和趋势具有统计学显著性。结果如下：总体而言，6.0%的参与者报告符合2008年指南，性别和种族/民族之间没有显著差异。在教育群体中注意到显著的线性增长，报告教育程度较低的答卷人的参与水平低于报告教育程度较高的答卷人。在每个BMI组中观察到显著的线性下降，与那些被归类为肥胖的人相比，那些被归类为体重不足/正常的人报告了更高的参与水平。自由力量和健美操是最常见的活动类型;家里是最常见的地点。结论：很少有成年人报告符合当前的肌肉强化标准。未来的公共卫生工作，以提高参与应使用最频繁报告的类型和本研究中概述的肌肉强化活动的位置，以指导干预和宣传活动。
Purpose: To describe those who reported meeting the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (2008 Guidelines) muscle-strengthening standard of 2 or more days per week, including all seven muscle groups, and to assess the type and location of muscle-strengthening activities performed. Method: Data from HealthStyles 2009, a cross-sectional, consumer mail-panel survey, was used for analyses (n = 4,271). The prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals of those meeting the 2008 Guidelines standards were calculated. Pairwise t-tests were performed to examine differences between estimates, tests for linear trends were performed among age, education, and body mass index (BMI) groups, and differences and trends were considered statistically significant at p < .05. Results: Overall, 6.0% of participants reported meeting 2008 Guidelines, and there were no significant differences between sex and racial/ethnic groups. A significant linear increase was noted among education groups, with respondents who reported lower levels of educational attainment having lower levels of participation compared with respondents who reported higher levels of educational attainment. A significant linear decrease was noted among each BMI group, with those classified as underweight/normal reporting higher levels of participation, compared with those classified as obese. Free weights and calisthenics were the most common types of activities; the home was the most common location. Conclusions: Few adults reported meeting current muscle-strengthening standards. Future public health efforts to increase participation should use the most frequently reported type and location of muscle-strengthening activities outlined in this study to guide interventions and communication campaigns.
