目的:本研究的目的是评估座椅集成动员系统对运动活动的影响,长时间驾驶时肌肉僵硬和不适。
方法:在4.5小时的驾驶任务中,运动活动,在模拟驾驶研究(N=16)中,在具有动员(座椅集成刺激)的测试条件和标准条件下的对照条件下,确定了长途卡车司机的肌肉僵硬度和不适感(主观和客观测量),并分别进行了比较.
结果:在实验条件下,与对照组相比,参与者的运动活动显着增加,肌肉僵硬度降低。此外,在对照条件下,不适的发生频率明显更高。
结论:动员系统增加了运动活动,减少了不适和肌肉僵硬。因此,它提供了相当大的潜力来抵消长期坐着的负面影响,并促进卡车司机的健康。
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a seat-integrated mobilization system on motion activity, muscle stiffness and discomfort during prolonged driving.
METHODS: During a 4.5-h driving task, motion activity, muscle stiffness and discomfort (measured subjectively and objectively) of long-haul truck drivers were determined and compared intra-individually in a test condition with mobilization (seat-integrated stimulation) and a control condition under standardized conditions in a simulated driving study (N = 16).
RESULTS: In the experimental condition, participants showed a significantly increased motion activity and a reduced muscle stiffness compared to the control condition. Furthermore, discomfort occurred significantly more frequently in the control condition.
CONCLUSIONS: The mobilization system increased motion activity and reduced discomfort as well as muscle stiffness. Therefore, it provides considerable potential to counteract negative effects of prolonged sitting and to promote truck driver\'s health.
