Changes in physical performance among construction workers during extended workweeks with 12-hour workdays
International Archives of Occupational & Environmental Health, 10/30/09
Faber A et al. – HR during each of the two separate workdays corresponded to a relative workload of 25%. Sub–maximal HR was lower, reaction time faster and handgrip strength higher in the end of each test day. In the end of the work period, sub–maximal HR was lower, reaction time faster and sitting balance was better. No trends of decreased physical performance were found after a workday or a work period.
