15 Questions
What does WERA stand for?
Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment
Where was the observational descriptive study conducted?
Koyyalagudem village of Nalgonda district, Telangana
What were the body parts assessed using Kinovea software?
Neck, shoulder, back, wrist, and legs
Which weaving activities were found to be at high risk according to the WERA scores?
Floor charka, Chitka asu, Tieing activity, weaving on heddle loom, and pit loom
In which weaving activity was the risk level categorized as medium?
Weaving on standing loom
What is the maximum volume of oxygen uptake (VO2 max) used for in measuring work capacity?
Measuring the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise
What is the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and its significance in work capacity?
The rate of energy consumption necessary to maintain life in an individual at rest; It contributes to the sum of energy consumption during physical work
What is the primary contribution to energy output during continuous work at moderate intensities?
Oxygen-dependent processes
How is work capacity related to the ability to take up and deliver oxygen to cells?
Work capacity depends on the ability to take up oxygen and deliver it to the cells for use in the oxidation of foodstuffs
What is the energy released for each liter of oxygen consumed, and how does it relate to work capacity?
About 20 kilojoules of energy is released for each liter of oxygen consumed; This energy release contributes to work capacity
What is the sum of the energy provided by oxygen-dependent and oxygen-independent processes in work capacity?
Physical work capacity
What is the rate of energy consumption necessary to maintain life in an individual at rest?
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
What is the primary contribution to energy output during continuous work at moderate intensities?
Oxygen-dependent processes
What is the ability that work capacity depends on?
The ability to take up oxygen and deliver it to the cells for use in the oxidation of foodstuffs
What is the maximum volume of oxygen uptake (VO2 max) used for in measuring work capacity?
Measuring the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise
