Prediction of development of fatigue during a simulated ambulance work task from physical performance tests

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to identify which physical performance tests could best explain the development of fatigue during a simulated ambulance work task, to investigate the effect of height and weight, and to investigate in what respects these findings differ between female and male ambulance personnel. The findings reveal that improved performance, matching the occupational demands, could decrease the development of fatigue during strenuous tasks.
