Productivity and maximal oxygen consumption in sugar cane cutters

GB Spurr, M Barac-Nieto and MG Maksud

Vo2max and daily productivity (metric tons/day) have been measured in 46 sugar cane cutters 18 to 34 years of age. A multiple regression analysis demonstrated that productivity was simultaneously related to VO2max, height and body fat (r=0.685;P less than 0.001). The multiple regression equation was: productivity (tons/day)=0.81 VO2max-0.14 percent fat +0.03 height -1.96. The data indicate that productivity is affected indirectly by nutritional status through the influence of the latter on height, fat content and VO2max. The decrease in VO2max that occurs with age was similar to that reported in the literature. Evidence is presented that, as the worker ages, a higher percent VO2max has to be utilized to maintain productivity.
