Tomato training entails highly repetitive shoulder muscle contractions, static contractions and work at shoulder level, factors linked in other working groups with neck and shoulder complaints. The frequency of musculoskeletal complaints was compared using the Nordic Questionnaire in 56 tomato trainers and 52 other matched glasshouse workers whose job did not include these work task factors. A higher 12- month (odds ratio (OR) = 5.9; [95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.4-16.7] and 7- day (OR = 3.6, CI = 1.2-11.1) period prevalence of shoulder complaint was recorded in trainers than in pickers and deleafers. Other upper limb and upper trunk complaints were also more common in tomato trainers, highlighting an area of ergonomic concern.
番茄采摘工作需要肩部肌肉进行高度重复性收缩、静态收缩，并在肩部水平进行作业，在其他工作群体中，这些因素与颈部和肩部疾病有关。研究人员使用北欧问卷，对56名番茄采摘工和52名其他相匹配的温室工人（其工作不包括这些工作任务因素）的肌肉骨骼疾病发生率进行了比较。结果显示，与采摘工和去叶工相比，番茄采摘工在12个月期间（优势比（OR）=5.9；[95%置信区间（CI）=2.4-16.7]）和7天期间（OR=3.6，CI=1.2-11.1）肩部疾病的患病率更高。其他上肢和上躯干疾病在番茄采摘工中也更为常见，这突出了一个需要关注人体工程学的领域。
