[The physiologic effect of lifting weights from the floor and working surface at different rates].

The article provides data on the physiological value workload in lifting weights from different surface levels (the floor and working surface at the level of 0.7 m from the floor), at different rates and at the distance of 0.7 m. The results of the study proved that, in case of manual lifting of weights, the rate and the surface level are the most important factors accounting for the degree and the nature of the physiological reactions, e. i the physiological value of the workload. Manual lifting of weights from the working surface is marked by a lower physiological value of workload and higher efficiency. This should be taken into account in manual labour planning, workload and labour intensity evaluation, labour conditions and recreation improvement.

[Complex assessment of working conditions of painters in industrial plants and their improvement].

The working conditions of the female workers engaged in industrial painting do not correspond to the optimal criteria and exceeds the permissible levels in some respects. Considerable muscle loads which cause the workers' fatigue and corporal pain lead to the overstain of the locomotor system. A complex of health improving measures is proposed to create more favorable labour conditions, lower fatiguability and promote prevention of locomotor system disorders.

[Comparison of physiological work capacity in lifting and carrying the loads].

Comparative data on the physiologic value of carrying over (along the horizontal surface with the rate of walking of 4.5 km/hr) and load lifting from the floor up to 0.7 m with the rate of 6, 10, 16 per min are given, the magnitude of external load with the weight of 4-300 H being different. Physiologic values of the completed work have been compared because of the significant difference in the work load when lifting and carrying over some objects. It is demonstrated that external load magnitude and physiologic value of muscular work are directly correlated. Physiologic work value during load lifting per work unit is higher than that during its carrying over. The ratio of physiologic value of load carrying over and lifting is different under various magnitudes of external load.
