Exercise that Includes Muscle Strengthening and Stretching

James Oliver

To reduce the incidence of strain injuries, many organizations try to match a current or prospective employee’s capabilities to the physical demands of the workplace in other words, fit the person to the task. This approach relies on measuring a person’s functional capacities, then matching the person to requirements of the work as determined by the findings of a physical demands analysis. This is a preventive approach. Employers must invest additional time and services to conduct functional capacity analyses and pre-work screening exams to match the physical demands of each job description.
