The Physical strain of dairy farming / E. Ahonen... [et al.]

Sumario: The aim of this study was to estimate the physical stress and strain in dairy farming, using ambulatory heart rate and oxygen consumption measurements. The rate of perceived exertion was estimated with Borg scale. The maximal oxygen consumption was measured in the laboratory. The physical strain of female farmers in dairy farming seems to be too high because of heavy work tasks and relatively low VO2 max of women
