Abstract

Objective: This study examined relationships between physical fitness, health behaviors, and occupational outcomes of university affiliates.

Participants: 166 university affiliates of an American university (including students, faculty, and staff) participated between October 2018 and March 2020.

Methods: Participants completed fitness measurements, wore a device to measure physical activity (PA) and sleep for one week, and completed a survey evaluating happiness and job satisfaction. Multiple regression models evaluated associations between physical fitness, health behaviors, and occupational outcomes.

Results: 45% of participants had "poor" cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and unhealthy % fat. CRF, body composition, and muscular endurance were related to PA while body composition was related to sleep duration. Muscular endurance was related to GPA and job satisfaction.

Conclusions: Findings suggest 45% of university affiliates had deficient physical fitness and may benefit from increasing PA and sleep. Universities should evaluate fitness within holistic programs to improve affiliates' health and, ultimately, occupational success.

美国一所大学的学生、教职员工的体能、健康行为和职业成果之间的关系。

研究目的本研究考察了大学附属机构人员的体能、健康行为和职业结果之间的关系：美国一所大学的 166 名大学附属机构人员（包括学生、教职员工）参加了 2018 年 10 月至 2020 年 3 月期间的研究：参与者完成了体能测量，佩戴了测量身体活动（PA）和睡眠的设备一周，并完成了一项评估幸福感和工作满意度的调查。多元回归模型评估了体能、健康行为和职业结果之间的关联：45%的参与者心肺功能（CRF）"较差"，脂肪比例不健康。CRF、身体成分和肌肉耐力与PA有关，而身体成分与睡眠时间有关。肌肉耐力与 GPA 和工作满意度有关：研究结果表明，45%的大学附属学校学生体能不足，可能会从增加体育锻炼和睡眠中受益。大学应在整体计划中对体能进行评估，以改善附属机构人员的健康状况，并最终取得职业成功。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
