[Physical work capacity of electronics workers (the assembling and checking of printed circuit boards)]

The physical capacity for work of electronic workers that assembly and check up the printed was determined. The physical capacity for work of the female assembly-workers is assessed to be moderate and that of the operators-very good. A reduction of the maximum oxygen consumption with 0.375 ml/kg per year was established in the female assembly-workers, in the age group 21-40. The results obtained are discussed in connection with the unfavourable effect of the reduced motor activity during work, taken as base for the elaboration of measures for the improvement of the physical capacity for work.
