摘要:Introduction and objective. The aim of this study is to evaluate the leisure time physical activity of Polish farmers in thecontext of meeting health-related recommendations, and to diagnose the social and economic determinants. The analysisconcerned leisure and transportation activities of various intensity and sedentary time.Materials and method. Farmers (n=153) aged over 18 were selected from a representative sample of Polish society (n=2039).In order to evaluate LTPA, the long version of the IPAQ was used. Statistically significant differences between the variableswere tested using non-parametric tests. The relationship between the amount of exercise recommended by the WHO andstudied socio-demographic criteria was assessed using log-linear analysis.Results. The WHO health recommendations were met by 33.3% of farmers. Shares in LTPA (19.1%) and transportation (19.2%)significantly increased the chance of achieving these norms (OR=12.54 and 0.07, respectively). Along with age (≥40 years)and income (≥3000 PLN/Є750) of Polish farmers, the risk of insufficient physical activity increased. Average MET-min/weekfor LTPA was 299.8±583.4 and transportation – 521.2±1973.9. The average time of sitting during working days was 4.4±2.9,while it was 4.5±3.2 hrs/day during weekends.Conclusions. Health-promoting changes are necessary among Polish farmers, including an increase in the awareness ofhealth benefits and the necessity of undertaking physically active ways of spending leisure time. It seems to be a legitimateaction to develop a mini-tourist trail in the rural environment as a means of promoting physical activity also among womenaged over 40, and from lower income groups, who are especially threatened by inactivity.
