| Summary: | ︢0.05, when compared on an individual basis. Predictive (-I.3 to -5.8%) than measured metabolic energy rates. (2.94 ︢0.44 L02/min) and bench stepping while not 0.2566) and stage 5 (p = 0.7529). However, these differences 8 L02 /min was not significantly greater (p = 0.0798) than administered to 18 men employed from two different high Analysis of variance found no significance in the differences between measured and predictive metabolic energy expenditures correspond with standard bench step ergometric testing energy expenditures (Garg 1979). However, this study found equation validation study, the predictive metabolic energy equations were expected to be greater than actual metabolic for stage 2 (p = 0.6023), stage 3 (p = 0.3755), stage 4 (p = frequency manual materl al handling industries. Estimated manual material handling test were compared to those values manual material handling test. According to Garg's energy material handling test shared a strong linear relationship maximal aerobic capacity, V 02 values obtained from the metabolic energy expenditure rates were compared to measured metabolic rates recorded during the progressive submaximal minute) or more demanding job task. Further studies are necessary to verify whether Garg's equations accurately not supporting an Oxylog unit that weighs 2.6 kg (5.8 lb). obtained from the bench stepping test while supporting and predict the energy expenditure of industrial employees. procedures. The manual material handling test was step test while not supporting the Oxylog unit, mean r2= 0.96 Submaximal aerobic capacities obtained from the manual submaximal manual material handling test that would supporting the Oxylog unit V 02m@ (2.85 ︢0.50 L02/min). the bench stepping while supporting the Oxylog unit V 02 m. The mean S.D. manual material handling V 02 max of 2.94 ︢0.3 the Oxylog unit, mean r2= 0.97 ︢0.03, and from the bench the predictive equations to produce values consistently lower The purpose of this study was to develop a progressive were not tested for a longer duration (greater than 15 with those obtained from the bench step test while supporting |
