Physical Activity Patterns Among Resident and Staff Physicians in Hamilton Teaching Hospitals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Summary Objective: This study aimed to evaluate patterns of, and barriers to, physical activity between resident and staff physicians in Hamilton teaching hospitals. Methods: A total of 300 physicians were enrolled in this cross-sectional study that involved an online questionnaire containing 34 questions. Results: The average participant reported 164 minutes per week of moderate to strenuous physical activity. There were no significant differences between resident and staff physicians (154 vs. 185 minutes per week; P = 0.15), between men and women (177 vs. 155 minutes per week; P = 0.31), among the various specialties ( P = 0.54), by number of children ( P = 0.63), or by exercise counselling practices ( P = 0.75). Within the age categories, those aged 35 to 44 years exercised significantly less than the group aged 45 to 54 years (110 vs. 231 minutes per week; P = 0.01). The most commonly cited barriers to physical activity included feeling too tired to exercise after work, the time required for exercise, family responsibilities, and unfavourable weather conditions. Conclusion: The average physician who responded to our survey reported physical activity patterns meeting current Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) recommendations regarding physical activity. Numerous barriers to exercise have been cited. More efforts are needed to minimize these barriers, implement strategies for increasing physical activity, and better promote physician health and wellness.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
