About this Item

Neuware - Are you struggling to connect complex physiological concepts with real workplace situations Do topics like fatigue, heat stress, work capacity, biomechanics, and human performance feel overwhelming when you study them together Are you looking for one clear, practical resource that helps you understand the science, calculations, and real-world applications of occupational physiology HANDBOOK OF OCCUPATIONAL PHYSIOLOGY is designed to turn difficult concepts into practical, understandable knowledge you can apply with confidence.Rather than treating physiology as isolated theory, this handbook shows how the human body responds to actual work demands-and how those responses can be measured, interpreted, and used to improve worker health, performance, recovery, and work-system design. The book combines physiological science with quantitative methods, worked examples, practical assessment strategies, and workplace applications.Inside, you will learn how to: - Understand metabolism, cardiovascular function, respiration, aerobic capacity, and muscular performance- Evaluate workload, physiological strain, fatigue, recovery, and sustainable work capacity- Apply biomechanics to lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, posture, and repetitive work- Understand and assess heat stress, hydration, cold stress, and severe environmental conditions- Analyze shift work, circadian rhythms, sleep loss, and fatigue-related performance- Measure workplace physiological load using heart rate, oxygen uptake, thermal measures, movement, force, EMG, and other field methods- Translate physiological findings into better work-rest schedules, engineering controls, task redesign, and safer work systemsThe handbook progresses from the foundations of occupational physiology through metabolism, cardiovascular and respiratory responses, work capacity, muscle performance, biomechanics, thermal stress, fatigue, sleep, environmental stressors, workplace measurement, and integrated work-system design.Worked calculations and quantitative methods are developed step by step, with attention to SI units, assumptions, measurement limitations, and responsible interpretation-helping you understand not only the answer, but how and why the answer is reached.Ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, occupational health professionals, ergonomists, safety practitioners, engineers, human-factors specialists, and anyone who needs a practical understanding of human physiological capacity at work.

About this title

Synopsis

Are you struggling to connect complex physiological concepts with real workplace situations?
Do topics like fatigue, heat stress, work capacity, biomechanics, and human performance feel overwhelming when you study them together?
Are you looking for one clear, practical resource that helps you understand the science, calculations, and real-world applications of occupational physiology?

HANDBOOK OF OCCUPATIONAL PHYSIOLOGY is designed to turn difficult concepts into practical, understandable knowledge you can apply with confidence.

Rather than treating physiology as isolated theory, this handbook shows how the human body responds to actual work demands—and how those responses can be measured, interpreted, and used to improve worker health, performance, recovery, and work-system design. The book combines physiological science with quantitative methods, worked examples, practical assessment strategies, and workplace applications.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• Understand metabolism, cardiovascular function, respiration, aerobic capacity, and muscular performance

• Evaluate workload, physiological strain, fatigue, recovery, and sustainable work capacity

• Apply biomechanics to lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, posture, and repetitive work

• Understand and assess heat stress, hydration, cold stress, and severe environmental conditions

• Analyze shift work, circadian rhythms, sleep loss, and fatigue-related performance

• Measure workplace physiological load using heart rate, oxygen uptake, thermal measures, movement, force, EMG, and other field methods

• Translate physiological findings into better work-rest schedules, engineering controls, task redesign, and safer work systems

The handbook progresses from the foundations of occupational physiology through metabolism, cardiovascular and respiratory responses, work capacity, muscle performance, biomechanics, thermal stress, fatigue, sleep, environmental stressors, workplace measurement, and integrated work-system design.

Worked calculations and quantitative methods are developed step by step, with attention to SI units, assumptions, measurement limitations, and responsible interpretation—helping you understand not only the answer, but how and why the answer is reached.

Ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, occupational health professionals, ergonomists, safety practitioners, engineers, human-factors specialists, and anyone who needs a practical understanding of human physiological capacity at work.
