Cardiac frequency throughout a working shift in coal miners / M.A. Montoliu, V. González and L. Palenciano

Sumario: Despite the ever-increasing mechanization of industrial activities, coal mining still remains a physically demanding occupation as it is not always possible to extensively mechanize the extraction process. To estimate the physical effort necessary to sustain coal mining activities in a poorly-mechanized mine, cardiac frecquency was measured throughout the working shift with a Sport-Tester PE3000 in a representative sample of 73 asturian miners engaged in a full spectrum of underground work
