Abstract
Background and aim: In order to establish appropriateness between labor and Human, aerobic capacity can be used. The methods which were used in physical labor are mental and physiological assessments. Subjective symptoms of fatigue during physical work are assessed with the Borg scale (RPE) and physiological with heart rate as well. This study aimed to compare the estimation of aerobic capacity (vo2max) with mental conception and physiology among male nurses in one of Tehran's hospitals.
Method: The present study was a cross – sectional analysis. In this study a number of male nurses have participated randomly and by the means of ergo meter were assessed according to Strand protocol. Aerobic capacity was determined by the formula ACSM. Meanwhile at the end of each minute, the intensity of perceived effort (RPE), as well as heart rate are calculated and recorded.
Result: Statistical analysis showed that between aerobic capacity and RPE are significant relationship (P
