Abstract

Background and Objective: Measurement of maximum AEROBIC CAPACITY (VO2 max) is important in physiologically fitting workers to a specific job. We aimed to investigate the effect of anthropometric and demographic factors on physical work capacity.Materials and Methods: In this study, 60 students of Ahwaz University of Medical Sciences who volunteered to participate were enrolled. For data collection, we used a checklist consisted of two sections. The first section included demographic characteristics, and the second section comprised of anthropometric characteristics of students. The students’ AEROBIC CAPACITY was assessed by using an ERGOMETER and according to ASTRAND PROTOCOL. Linear regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient were run to investigate the association between demographic and anthropometric variables and VO2 max.Results: Mean VO2 max of the students was equal to 2.19±0.56 lit/min and 35.95±8.97 ml/kg-1.min-1. Statistical analysis revealed a robust association between VO2 max and gender, weight, height, body fat percentage (P£0.01), and shoulder width (P£0.04).Conclusion: Among the demographic factors only gender and among the ANTHROPOMETRIC DIMENSIONS weight, height, shoulder width, and body fat percentage were significantly associated with VO2 max. Therefore, using the regression equations mentioned in this study, it is possible to estimate the physical work capacity according to gender and ANTHROPOMETRIC DIMENSIONS.
