Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Validation of a new pocket computer assisted method for metabolic rate estimation in field studies

Notas: Sumario: The metabolic rate of workers engged in different industrial tasks has been estimated with an observation method assisted by a pocket computer. Measurements were made in three factories on 14 workers during 35 periods of industrial work. The reference method for energetic cost was the actual VO2 measured using a portable device (Oxycon P). The results obtained with the pocket computer method were compared with those derived from classical recordings: heart rate, ventilation and subjective rating of work level according to the Borg scaleRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 31, nº 8 August 1988 ; p. 1155-1164Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Reacciones metabólicas Consumo de oxígeno Frecuencia cardíaca Ventilación pulmonar Capacidad de trabajo Métodos de análisis Ordenadores Otros autores: Meyer, J.P.
