[Energy expenditure and work exertion in clothing industry workers]

The maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), oxygen consumption compared with VO2max values--percent of VO2max (strenuousness) and energy expenditure in clothing industry workers were investigated. Seventy five subjects took part in those investigations. The effective energy expenditure of weedle women was 2,3 KJ/480 min, store-workers--3,3 KJ/480 min, cutters 4,8 KJ/480 min, layers--5,1 KJ/480 min, and ironers from 3,7 KJ/480 min, to 4,7 KJ/480 min, respectively.
