[Work energy expenditure at main posts in the textile industry and some of its conditions]

Effective energetic expenditure for the work performed in weaving, spinning and sewing plants has been presented. In weaving and spinning plants the minute energetic expenditure rate was found to vary with the extensiveness of the workplace and resulting walking time as well as with specific machines operational mode. In sewing plants the minute energetic expenditure depended on the size of the elements being sewn and the work pace. The effective energetic expenditure during a work shift was from 659 to 1020 kcal for weavers, from 740 to 1000 kcal for spinners and from 522 to 1105 kcal for sewers, which points to an uncomparable load at monomial workplaces equipped with different machines.
