Assessment of physical work capacity
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1961Maximal oxygen uptakes were compared with the results from five different tests of physical work capacity in 96 men, 23–62 years of age. In addition, the 'predicted' maximal oxygen uptakes, according to the Ǻstrand-Ryhming nomogram, were compared with the actual measured maximal oxygen uptakes in the 28 subjects who were between 20 and 30 years of age.

Violence in the workplace is a serious public health problem. Yet, to date, little has been documented relevant to non-fatal events associated with physical assault. The aim of the present study was to identify the magnitude of work-related physical assault in Minnesota and to identify potential risk factors; both fatal and non-fatal cases were ...

A physical model of muscle working to evaluate the work ability
International Congress Series, 2005Abstract It was well known that work ability included a wide kind of related aspects, involving both mental and physical well-being. When mechanical works were taken into account, it was necessary to refer to muscular structure and its consistency, for assessing the work ability and employability; i.e. efficiency of performances of the muscles has to

Age and Physical Work Capacity
Experimental Aging Research, 1999Aging is associated with a progressive decrement in various components of physical work capacity, including aerobic power and capacity, muscular strength and endurance, and the tolerance of thermal stress. A part of the functional loss can be countered by regular physical activity, control of body mass, and avoidance of cigarette smoking. Nevertheless,

After the rather negative conditions mentioned in the last chapter, it might be supposed that there is little we can do to recreate a knowledge of the circumstances in which Emily Bronte worked. However, we shall begin by looking at some evidence for the physical conditions of Emily Bronte’s work, since the thesis of this book is that we shall be able ...
