Background and Purpose: Package-delivery-drivers play an important role in modern society but they are at a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) because of prolonged driving and manually carrying goods. Studies revealed relationship between fitness status and MSDs prevalence, and fitness promotion program can reduce risk and enhance working performance. However, few studies reported about the prevalence rate of MSDs or fitness status of package-delivery-drivers. The purposes of this study are (1) to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and fitness status of package-delivery-drivers, (2) to check the correlation between fitness status and MSDs. Method: We investigated prevalence rate of MSDs by self-report questionnaire and fitness status with equipments from 216 package-delivery-drivers in Taipei. Result: The most prevalent MSDs in package-delivery-drivers was low back pain, but knee and ankle or foot were the parts of MSDs affected work performance in package-delivery-drivers. Fitness status of package-delivery-drivers was generally better than the Norm of general service industry (p<0.0005). Endurance of back extensors was significantly correlated with MSDs in all body parts. Conclusion: Package-delivery-drivers in our study showed better fitness status, but still in high prevalence rate of MSDs. There was a significant correlation between endurance of back extensors and MSDs.

背景與目的：貨運駕駛是我國重要的勞動人口，為罹患相關身體肌肉骨骼系統不適之高危險族群，但國內並無盛行率報告。體適能狀況被認為和身體肌肉骨骼系統不適有關，能了解肌肉骨路系統不適之盛行率及體適能狀況，是介入與預防的基礎，但貨運駕駛體適能卻未曾被調查，故本研究的目的在於：調查貨運駕駛身體各部位肌肉骨髓系統不適的盛行率與體適能狀況並探討兩者問之相關性。方法：採橫斷調查，對某貨運公司之216名貨運駕駛，以問卷調查肌肉骨骼系統不適之盛行率，實施體適能檢測了解體適能狀況並分析真相關性。結果：該族群以下背痛之盛行率最高，不適部位影響工作比例者最高為膝與腳躁／腳部，體適能狀況與一般服務業常模有顯著差異(p<0.0005)，優於常模。體適能測試項目中，背肌耐力與身體各部位肌肉骨骼系統不適的盛行率有顯著的相關性(p<0.05)。結論：貨運駕駛有優於常模的體適能，但仍有高盛行率的肌肉骨骼系統不適症狀，背肌耐力與各部位不適有顯著相關。
