Table 3.

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
