The association between cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) and relative aerobic load (%HRR) at work—stratified by occupation
| Occupation group | Estimates [95% CI] | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Administration (n = 68) | Cleaning (n = 42) | Manufacturing (n = 293) | Transportation (n = 36) | |
| Mean %HRRa | −0.37 [−0.56 to −0.18] | −0.18 [−0.41 to 0.05] | −0.38 [−0.47 to −0.30] | −0.35 [−0.76 to 0.06] |
| Max %HRRa | −0.50 [−0.84 to −0.17] | −0.30 [−0.77 to 0.18] | −0.48 [−0.60 to −0.36] | −0.09 [−0.64 to 0.47] |
| > 30%HRRb | −1.0% [−1.5 to −0.4%] | −1.0% [−1.8 to −0.0%] | −2.2% [−2.6 to −1.7%] | −1.4% [−3.2 to 0.4%] |
Bold indicates statistically significant effects (p < 0.05)
HRR heart rate reserve, Max %HRR maximum % of HRR at which an individual has spent at least 1 min at or above during work, > 30 %HRR percentage of time spent at work above 30 %HRR
aEstimates are β-coefficients
bEstimates are the absolute change in the proportion of time spent at work above 30 %HRR
