Anthropometric Measures For Better Cardiovascular And Musculoskeletal Health

Artists spend their working time in the workplace so a design is needed to address their needs. The workplaces need to be economic, ergonomic, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly based on the current trends. This study focused on all of these aspects while choosing the subjects for conducting the experiment. A total of 10 test subjects were involved in this study. Data related to environmental conditions were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test and those related to workloads and musculoskeletal disorders were tested by two-paired samplettest. The cardiovascular load and cardiovascular strain (CVS) data were tested by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for a 5% significance level. The results showed that using a natural posture while working can improve health quality. Occupational health indicators, such as workloads, cardiovascular load, and CVSs, musculoskeletal disorders, visual complaints, and concentration showed an improvement characterized by decreased workloads, cardiovascular load and CVS, musculoskeletal disorders, visual complaints, and increased concentration.
