Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim of testing whether the endurance time of new employees engaged in frequent industrial carrying task can be significantly increased through a short training programme (2.5 weeks). Endurance time was here defined as the maximum length of time during which an individual can continuously carry a 20 kg load over a 4 m distance 8 times/min. The results showed that (1) endurance time increased by almost 100 over a 8-session training programme; (2) for a fixed workload, endurance time increased without changing job demand perception; and (3) overall body fatigue may be the limiting factor in frequent carrying tasks.
