  • Title: Oxygen concumtpion and biochemistry of Australian women physiotherapists.
    Author: Camp EM, Gass GC, Blaxland HJ.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1979 Jul; 60(7):297-300. PubMed ID: 454126.
    Abstract:
    Oxygen consumption and related spirometric, biochemical, and anthropometric variables were measured in 28 practicing Australian women physiotherapists at 3 teaching hospitals. Heart rate while on ward duty was also measured in 2 randomly selected physiotherapists. The majority of measurements were found to be within normal limits for Australian women and consistent with women of similar age in occupational groups in other countries, except for body fat, which was lower, and maximum oxygen consumption, which was higher. The later exceptions are believed to be the result of the physical work required of Australian women physiotherapists.
