Abstract
A new approach for estimating [worker] metabolic rates for manual materials handling jobs is presented. This approach was applied to 48 different jobs. The model validation showed a correlation coefficient of 0.95 between the measured and predicted metabolic rates. The coefficient of variation (SE/sample mean) was 10.2%.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
