Abstract:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The assessment of energy cost (EC) at the workplace remains a key topic in occupational health due to the ever-increasing prevalence of work-related issues. This review provides a detailed list of EC estimations in jobs\/tasks included in tourism, agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and transportation industries. A total of 61 studies evaluated the EC of 1,667 workers while performing a large number of tasks related to each of the aforementioned five industries.<\/p>\n

Agriculture includes the most energy-demanding jobs (males: 6.0 \u00b1 2.5 kcal\/min; females: 2.9 \u00b1 1.0 kcal\/min).\u00a0Jobs in the construction industry were the 2nd most demanding (males: 4.9 \u00b1 1.6 kcal\/min; no data for females). The industry with the 3rd highest EC estimate was manufacturing (males: 3.8 \u00b1 1.1 kcal\/min; females: 3.0 \u00b1 1.3 kcal\/min). Transportation presented relatively moderate EC estimates (males: 3.1 \u00b1 1.0 kcal\/min; no data for females). Tourism jobs demonstrated the lowest EC values (2.5 \u00b1 0.9 kcal\/min for males and females).<\/p>\n

It is hoped that this information will aid the development of future instruments and guidelines aiming to protect workers\u2019 health, safety, and productivity. Future research should provide updated EC estimates within a wide spectrum of occupational settings taking into account the sex, age, and physiological characteristics of the workers as well as the individual characteristics of each workplace.<\/p>\n
