Abstract:
To examine the work load of recent mechanized forestry work, energy expenditure, serum sarcoplasmic enzyme and urinary catecholamine were measured during engagement in the production of trees among twelve lumberjacks. Energy expenditure was relatively high in the works of debranching by a hatchet and hanging trees on carring wire cables. At least, the debranching work by a hatchet must be changed to more safety and lighter works. It was suggested that much more attention must be paid to the physiologic character of forestry work still now on the results of the changing pattern in serum sarcoplasmic enzyme and urinary catecholamine during these working process.
