Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Metabolic cost of backpack and shoulder load carriage

Notes: Sumario: The purpose of this study was to directly compare the heart rate and oxygen uptake of the shoulder and backpack methods of carrying field artillery ammunition and to estimate acceptable working durations for this task. It is likely that under field conditions for this particular load soldier may find the shoulder load carriage method acceptable for 1-1.5 h but may tolerate the backpacking method for longer periods of timeRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 35, nº 9, September 1992 ; p. 1063-1068Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Fisiología Metabolismo Consumo de oxígeno Carga de materiales Transporte de materiales Frecuencia cardíaca Otros autores: Ramsey, T.
