title: [Physical state and the capacity of agricultural machinery operators].
abstract: Based on anthropometric investigations, and on some biometrical indices and physiological parameters, the authors study the physical fitness and ability for work in a group of 1216 machine operators, engaged in farming activities. Upon comparison of the data obtained, practically insignificant differences are established for the respective age groups relative to the general population. Virtually equal indices are recorded in most of the cases. Emphasis is laid on the necessity to estimate the working load among technicians older than 45 years.
