| Abstract | A study on combined manual materials handling tasks, under two different frequencies and four lifting and lowering height combinations, was conducted in a laboratory. Eight male construction workers performed a box handling task repetitively for an hour either at one or two frequencies per minute. On each day, the task consisted of: lifting a box of ceramic tile weighting 23 Kg from a specified height, carrying it for 8.5 m, lowering the box to a specified height, and then walking 8.5 m back. The specific heights included: lifting the box from floor level and lowering to floor level; lifting from the floor and lowering to knuckle height; lifting from knuckle height and lowering to floor; and lifting from knuckle height and lowering to knuckle height. Oxygen uptake, heart rate, and ratings of perceived exertion for whole body and low back discomfort were measured during the task. Additionally, actual energy expenditure of the box handling for an hour was calculated from the oxygen uptake measured, whereas the predicted energy expenditure was estimated using the valid regression equations available in the literature. Statistical analysis demonstrated that both task frequency and lifting and lowering heights influence oxygen uptake, heart rate, and the rating of perceived exertion for whole body (p≪0.05). However, the difference between the actual and predicted energy expenditures was not significant (p≫0.05). This implies that the predictive equations used in the current study are acceptable in estimating the physiological cost of Chinese construction workers during various materials handling tasks. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
