PRELIMINARY STUDY CONCERNING LABOR CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT THROUGH KINETOTHERAPY OF DENTAL TECHNICIANS
Abstract:
Dental technician profession and working conditions are very difficult. Harsh working
conditions (working position, extended static physical effort etc.) and living environment (climate) orient
us toward explaining the occurrence of some physical deficiencies, occupational diseases caused by
pollutants from work, which can lead to cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, mental and other
diseases. Considering the need to undertake such a study, we proposed the assessment of effort capacity
of this professional category (dental technician), as it enables testing of multiple functions of the body:
cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, muscular strength and endurance, articular amplitude, psychovolitional
states. The engagement of body in various dynamic and sustained efforts through application
and compliance of strategies for practicing physical training, proved to be crucial for improving the
cardio-respiratory functional performance, respectively improve aerobic fitness of dental technicians
