Physiological responses to exercise and anthropometry were measured in several groups of physical laborers. The groups included Colombian sugar cane cutters, sugar cane loaders and general farm laborers. In addition, migrant workers and civil service laborers from the United States were studied. The Colombian populations were generally shorter, weighed less and had less body fat than the United States group. The nutritional state of the Colombian groups, as measured by the hematocrit, hemoglobin, serum albumin and total blood protein, appeared normal. The aerobic power of the Colombia populations was significantly larger than the United States groups. The larger aerobic power of the Colombian groups is probably related to greater physical fitness associated with the physical demands of their occupations.
对几组体力劳动者的运动生理反应和人体测量数据进行了测量。这些组包括哥伦比亚甘蔗砍伐工、甘蔗装卸工和普通农场工人。此外，还对来自美国的移民工人和公务员进行了研究。哥伦比亚人群通常比美国人群更矮、体重更轻且体脂更少。通过血细胞比容、血红蛋白、血清白蛋白和总血蛋白测量的哥伦比亚人群的营养状况看起来正常。哥伦比亚人群的有氧能力明显高于美国人群。哥伦比亚人群较高的有氧能力可能与他们职业的体力需求所带来的更强身体素质有关。
