IE 553 Engineering of Human Work Dr. Andris Freivalds Class #27 IE 553
Intermittent Work(Work/Rest Cycles) • Short, frequent W/R cycles are best • Self-paced work with spontaneous pauses • For prolonged work, VO2 should be at steady state 412 W IE 553
Task/Work Analysis • Basic requirements for a job/task: • Energy exp < VO2max • Fatigue threshold (?) • Repeatable task • Eave = (Ew×Tw + Er×Tr)/(Tw+Tr) • Ew = [Eave(Tw+Tr) - Er×Tr]/Tw IE 553
Acceptable Job Energy Expenditure • Recommended physical work capacity • ERPWC = VO2max/3 • uniform work best • excursions worse • static worse than dynamic • large muscles better than localized loading Time Age IE 553 RPWC
Acceptable Job Energy Expenditure • For jobs exceeding RPWC: • Rest allocation or work/rest cycling • Tr = T(Ew - ERPWC) (Ew - Er) IE 553
ENERGY COST OF WORK IE 553
Heart Rate • HR proportional to energy expenditure • ∆HR = working HR – resting HR • ∆HR (Work pulse) ≤ 40 IE 553
Monitoring Fatigue Heart Rate Recovery • Brouha guidelines • Measure HR at: • 0.5→1 min (HR1) • 2.5→3 min (HR2) • Acceptable work if: • HR1 < 110/min • HR1 – HR2 ≥ 20/min • Avoid heart rate creep • Short, frequent work-rest cycles IE 553
Subjective ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) (Borg, 1960) IE 553
Ratings for Work IE 553
Work Efficiency • Gross efficiency (%) = WorkOut/E × 100 • Net eff. (%) = WorkOut/(E-BMR) × 100 • Ex. IE 553
