目的健康研究往往侧重于中等强度和高强度的体力活动，而忽视了低强度的习惯性活动。我们的目的是了解习惯性的体力活动，在妇女从一个过渡经济使用体力活动监测。方法本研究调查了波兰农村68名健康绝经前妇女（年龄18-46岁）的身体活动，使用FitBit One活动跟踪器1周。使用标准人体测量技术测量身高、体重和体脂。每天的体力活动数据进行了分析，步数以及持续时间和强度。结果波兰农村妇女的样本平均每天走8428步（SD = 2650）。轻度活动、相当活动和非常活动的时间分别为每天337.1（SD = 87.8）、19.6（SD = 30.5）和6.7（SD = 8.6）分钟。总活动时间和轻度活动时间与每日步数相关（两者均P < 0.001），并且轻度活动时间随着年龄的增长而增加（P = 0.02）。没有观察到身体活动指标与BMI、年龄或体脂之间的其他显著关系。结论在这个样本中，女性花了大量的时间从事轻强度的体力活动，每天走的步数相对较高。我们的数据表明，在这一人群中，18至46岁女性的总日常活动量不取决于年龄。我们认为，测量方法，其中包括低强度的活动可能会更好地描述习惯性体力活动的妇女谁预计将进行大量的家务劳动。
Objective Health research often focuses on moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity while neglecting low-intensity habitual activities. Our aim was to understand habitual physical activity in women from a transitioning economy using a physical activity monitor. Methods This study investigated physical activity in 68 healthy premenopausal women (age 18-46) in rural Poland using FitBit One activity trackers for 1 week. Standard anthropometric techniques were used to measure height, weight, and body fat. Daily physical activity data were analyzed for step counts as well as duration and intensity. Results This sample of rural Polish women traveled a mean of 8428 (SD = 2650) steps per day. Time spent lightly active, fairly active, and very active were measured as 337.1 (SD = 87.8), 19.6 (SD = 30.5), and 6.7 (SD = 8.6) minutes per day, respectively. Total time active and time spent lightly active were associated with daily steps (P < 0.001 for both), and time lightly active increased with age (P = 0.02). No other significant relationships were observed between physical activity measures and BMI, age, or body fat. Conclusions In this sample, women spend a significant amount of time engaged in light-intensity physical activity and travel a relatively high number of steps per day. Our data suggest that in this population, total daily activity does not depend on age in women between 18 and 46. We suggest that measurement methods which include low-intensity activity may better characterize habitual physical activity in women who are expected to be performing large amounts of domestic labor.
