Abstract

Objective: This cluster-controlled pilot study assessed the efficacy and feasibility of "Fit 2 Drive," a depot-delivered, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program to improve the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of truck drivers.

Methods: Companies of local delivery drivers (44 men; mean [SD] age = 50.5 [9.8] years; Brisbane, Australia) were assigned to "Fit 2 Drive" (4 clusters; 27 drivers; 1 × 4 minutes supervised to self-managed HIIT, 3 times a week, 12 weeks) or a control (5 clusters; 17 drivers). Analyses assessed between group changes in CRF (VO 2peak ), HIIT session attendance, and delivery costs.

Results: Driver clusters allocated to "Fit 2 Drive" significantly improved CRF compared to a control (mean difference of 3.6 mL·kg -1 ·min -1 ; P < 0.019; 95% confidence interval = 0.7-6.5 mL·kg -1 ·min -1 ). Drivers who completed the program attended 70% of sessions (25/36) with delivery costs averaging $710 AUD per driver.

Conclusions: The findings support the efficacy and feasibility of Fit 2 Drive but also highlight challenges for in-person delivery at scale.

高强度间歇训练计划提高卡车司机心肺功能的有效性和可行性：Fit 2 Drive集群对照试验研究。

目的：这项集群控制的试点研究评估了“Fit 2 Drive”的有效性和可行性，这是一项由仓库提供的高强度间歇训练（HIIT）计划，旨在提高卡车司机的心肺健康（CRF）。方法：当地送货司机公司（44名男性；平均[SD]年龄=50.5[9.8]岁；澳大利亚布里斯班）被分配到“Fit 2 Drive”（4个集群；27名司机；1×4分钟监督自我管理的HIIT，每周3次，12周）或对照组（5个集群；17名司机）。对CRF（VO2peak）、HIIT会议出席率和交付成本的组间变化进行评估的分析。结果：与对照组相比，分配给“Fit 2 Drive”的驾驶员集群显著改善了CRF（平均差异为3.6 mL·kg-1·min-1；P<0.019；95%置信区间=0.7-6.5 mL·kg-1·min-1）。完成该项目的司机参加了70%的培训（25/36），平均每位司机的配送费用为710澳元。结论：研究结果支持Fit 2 Drive的有效性和可行性，但也突出了大规模亲自交付的挑战。
