“…In line with our statement, Petersen et al have noticed that occupational lifting of heavy loads by men, particularly among those with low total occupational and leisure-time physical activity, increased the cardiovascular risk [21]. Although some publications have reported a protective effect of occupational activity on the myocardiac infarction risk [22,23], the latest publications of Holtermann et al…”

“…The different types of activity carried out at work might partly explain these inconsistent findings. For example, Fransson et al [46] found that walking and standing at work, both aerobic activities, decreases the risk of myocardial infarction, while lifting or carrying at work increases the risk of myocardial infarction. The relation between all aspects of occupational PA and health should be investigated further.…”

BackgroundThis study systematically reviewed the evidence pertaining to socioeconomic inequalities in different domains of physical activity (PA) by European region.MethodsStudies conducted between January 2000 and December 2010 were identified by a systematic search in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Psychinfo, Sportdiscus, Sociological Abstracts, and Social Service Abstracts. English-language peer-reviewed studies undertaken in the general population of adults (18–65 years) were classified by domain of PA (total, leisure-time including sport, occupational, active transport), indicator of socioeconomic position (education, income, occupation), and European region. Distributions of reported positive, negative, and null associations were evaluated.ResultsA total of 131 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were conducted in Scandinavia (n = 47). Leisure-time PA was the most frequently studied PA outcome (n = 112). Considerable differences in the direction of inequalities were seen for the different domains of PA. Most studies reported that those with high socioeconomic position were more physically active during leisure-time compared to those with low socioeconomic position (68% positive associations for total leisure-time PA, 76% for vigorous leisure-time PA). Occupational PA was more prevalent among the lower socioeconomic groups (63% negative associations). Socioeconomic differences in total PA and active transport PA did not show a consistent pattern (40% and 38% positive associations respectively). Some inequalities differed by European region or socioeconomic indicator, however these differences were not very pronounced.ConclusionsThe direction of socioeconomic inequalities in PA in Europe differed considerably by domain of PA. The contradictory results for total PA may partly be explained by contrasting socioeconomic patterns for leisure-time PA and occupational PA.

“…Według definicji Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia (World Health Organization -WHO) całkowita aktywność fizyczna obejmuje również pracę w domu i ogrodzie oraz aktywność wykonywaną w drodze do pracy, a także w pracy zawodowej. Jak pokazują dane literaturowe, w przypadku tej ostatniej korzyści wynikające z jej podejmowania nie zawsze są oczywiste [6,7].…”

StreszczenieAktywność fizyczna jest ważnym czynnikiem mającym znaczenie w poprawie i utrzymaniu dobrego stanu zdrowia. Mimo że jest to zagadnienie istotne nie tylko dla środowiska pracy, to właśnie to środowisko stanowi dobre warunki do prowadzenia i utrwalania zachowań prozdrowotnych, w tym również programów promujących aktywność fizyczną. W artykule przedstawiono analizę piśmiennictwa dotyczącego skuteczności prowadzenia tego typu działań w miejscu pracy. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na wpływ programów promujących aktywność fizyczną na dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowe, absencję chorobową, zdolność do pracy, wydolność fizyczną oraz masę ciała uczestników. Mając na uwadze to, że w Polsce tego typu programy nadal są prowadzone na niewielką skalę, starano się pokazać korzyści wynikające z realizowania tego typu inicjatyw oraz uczestnictwa w nich. Med. Pr. 2017;68(2):277-301Słowa kluczowe: aktywność fizyczna, program interwencyjny, interwencja w miejscu pracy, dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowe, program corporate wellness, zdolność do pracy AbstractA physical activity is a key factor contributing to the improvement and maintenance of one's general health. Although this issue is by no means limited to the workplace, it is precisely the work environment that can provide the basis for keeping and reinforcing more health-conscious attitudes and lifestyles, including programs promoting a physical activity. The paper presents an analysis of the literature on the effectiveness of physical activity intervention at the workplace. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the physical activity programs on musculoskeletal disorders, absenteeism, work ability, physical capacity and body weight of the participants. Given a marginal extent of programs of this kind in Poland, the authors' intention was to show the benefits resulting from implementation of and participation in such initiatives.

The Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: Aerobic physical activities such as exercise or walking at work seemed to reduce the risk of MI, whereas anaerobic activities such as heavy lifting at work were related to increased risk of MI.
