[Evaluation of the workload of weavers based on the analysis of cardiac function and changes in heart rate]

The paper is aimed at an analysis of the dependences between occupational work performance and heart rate. The examinations covered weavers working on two different types of looms, using a telemetric measurement of pulse rate with a simultaneous precise analysis of the structure activities performed. The results indicated statistically significant differences in pulse rate mean values and in the duration of activities performance. It was also demonstrated that the structure of activities significantly affects the workload, as evidenced by the heart rate.
