Abstract

Amid the rapid urbanization aligned with the Healthy China initiative, the taxi industry has emerged as a critical component of urban transportation systems. However, prolonged driving hours, high-intensity workloads, and irregular schedules severely compromise taxi drivers’ physical well-being. This study examines the occupational characteristics and health status of taxi drivers, emphasizing the role of physical training in enhancing their fitness, ensuring road safety, and mitigating occupational diseases. Furthermore, it identifies key barriers to effective physical training, including time constraints, limited access to professional guidance, and motivational deficits.
