Energy consumption
PHYSIOLOGY(สรีระวิทยา)
• Working: All activities those make the
body move, energy is consumed, heart and
lung work harder.
• Metabolism:The process of transforming
the chemical energy to mechanical energy
and heat. Then, the outputs of metabolism
are energy,heat, water, and carbondioxide.
Energy consumption at work
• Unit for Energy: kilojoules or kJ ( 1 kilo-cal = 4 kJ)
• One litre of oxygen could be used to produce 20 kJ
(5 kilo-calories) for a human body.
• Basal metabolism: In relaxed conditions
(sleeping and empty stomach), human uses the
constant energy which depend on the body size
and gender, such as a man with 70 kg needs 700
0 kJ /24 hr (290 kJ/hr), but a woman with 60 kg needs
5900 kJ /24 hr (250 kJ/hr).
All chemical energy was transformed to heat.
Work joules and Leisure joules
• Work joules: level of bodily stress,
especially in heavy work, can be used to
assess the level of effort to determine
necessary rest periods and to compare
the energetic efficiency of different
tools and different ways of arranging
the work.
Work joules and Leisure joules
• Leisure joules: Off-work activities,
also consume energy. The average
would be 2400 kJ daily (8 hr) for a
man and 2000-2200 kJ for a woman.
• Total energy:
Basal metabolism
Work joules
Leisure joules
Energy consumption and
health
• “ today’s human is clearly on the way to
becoming a sedentary animal”
• Often more chemical energy is taken into the
body than is consumed, leading to overweight,
with increased risk of cardiac and circulatory
disease and metabolic troubles.
• Healthy occupation should have daily energy
consumption of
12,000-15,000 kJ/24hr(625 kJ/hr for a man)
and
10,000-12,000kJ/24hr(500 kJ/hr)
for a woman.
Upper limits of heavy work
• Work physiologists consider an energy
consumption of 20,000 kJ per working
day(2500kJ/hr) to be a maximum for
heavy work in Europe and North America.
• ** 1300 kJ/hr if working time is
over 8 hr/day (10,500 kJ / day or 8 hr )
• ** max 22,000-30,000 kJ / day for a few
days without ill effects… should be
possible.
Energy consumption & heart rate
• Heart rate as measure of workload: the
rise in heart rate with increasing
workload is the steeper:-
– The higher the ambient temperature
– The greater the proportion of static to
dynamic effort
– The smaller the number of muscles
involved.
Measuring the heart rate (pulse)
• One the useful ways of assessing the
work load because it can be done so
easily.
• Metabolism, respiration, temperature
and heart rate could be used as
indications of workload. (data in table )
Scales of heart rate
• Resting pulse: average heart rate before the
work begins.
• Working pulse: average heart rate during the
work.
• Work pulse: different between the resting and
working pulse.
• Total recovery pulse (recovery cost): sum of
heart beats from the cessation of work until
the pulse returns to its resting level.
• Total work pulse (cardiac cost): sum of heart
beats from the start of the work until resting
level is restored. (show graph)
1 Nm/s = 1 J/s
1J/s =1
Watt
pulse & workload
• A work load of 3500 Nm/min produced
work pulses of 50 for women and 40 for
men.
• Recovery cost or cardiac cost could be
used to measure the workload.
