The purpose of the study was to determine a possible association between the type of work individuals perform and his or her physical capacity. There was focus on whether workers performing repetitive monotonous work differ from workers with varied work tasks with respect to the physical capacity.
Maximal backward extension and forward flexion torques of the trunk, maximal shoulder elevation and abduction torques, handgrip strength and aerobic capacity were measured on 423 (213 male and 210 female) Danish employees with a mean age of 40 years. Half of the group had varied work and the other half had repetitive monotonous work.
The main finding was that there is no difference in the measured physical capacities between employees with repetitive monotonous work and those compared with workers with varied work tasks.
No difference in the physical capacities measured in the two groups of employees was found. Reasons for this are discussed.
本研究的目的是确定个体所从事的工作类型与其身体能力之间可能存在的关联。重点在于从事重复性单调工作的工人在身体能力方面是否与从事多样化工作任务的工人有所不同。
对423名（213名男性和210名女性）平均年龄为40岁的丹麦员工测量了躯干的最大后伸和前屈扭矩、肩部最大上举和外展扭矩、握力和有氧能力。该组中有一半从事多样化工作，另一半从事重复性单调工作。
主要发现是，从事重复性单调工作的员工与从事多样化工作任务的员工相比，在所测量的身体能力方面没有差异。
两组员工在所测量的身体能力方面未发现差异。对此的原因进行了讨论。
