Physical workload, perceived exertion, and output of cut wood as related to age in motor-manual cutting / K.B. Hagen... [et al.]

Sumario: The aim of this study was to investigate the physical workload, perceived exertion, and output of cut wood in motor-manual cutting, as related to age. Physical workload, output of cut wood, and perceived exertion were studied among 15 younger and 16 older lumberjacks, using a chainsaw and paid on a piece-rate basis. Oxygen consumption was measured with portable equipment, while heart rate was measured telemetrically
