Chebotarev Institute of Gerontology  NAMS Ukraine", 04114 Kyiv The study was made into the opportunities for using individuals  of pre- and retirement age in the working places with special  reference to physiological limitations and technological prospects  of increasing productivity of the elderly workers. The results  obtained helped develop a formula for quantitation of "residual  capacity" (RC) of persons of pre- and retirement age. It was  shown that about 57 % of the elderly and 96.7 % of people of  advanced old age need the application of ergonomic innovation at work and at home to improve physical independence from  outside assistance and compensation for age-related loss of  working capacity. Developed were the rating scale for assessing  RC of persons aged 60+ as well as recommendations aimed at  improvement of the effectiveness of human activity. ...

    Функциональный возраст и работоспособность человека в зависимости от вида труда и образа жизни / А.А. Поляков , Е.С. Томаревская // Журнал Казахстанско-Российского медицинского университета: Актуальные проблемы теоретической и клинической медицины. -  2013. - № 3 – 4. – С. 21 – 22. SUMMARY This investigation is dedicated to clarifying of physiological mechanisms of labor activity in subjects of a different gender and age with the purpose of a theoretical background of rational usage of human professional working capacity and rehabilitation of his health. Muscle strength and endurance in the women have expressed age dynamics. The muscle strength of the women is significantly slashed at 30-35 of years, and the muscle endurance remains stable up to 55-year’s age. For the men the dynamics of the muscle strength and endurance have no obvious age trend, and mostly depend from lifestyle, physical and labor activity. It has been showed, that the individual...

Tomarevska E.S. Physiological possibilities of ensuring the overall working ability of elderly people.   ANNOTATION Dissertation on defending a Scientific Degree of Candidate of Medical Sciences in specialty 14.03.03 - Normal Physiology. - SI "Institute of Gerontology by D.F. Chebotarev NAMS of Ukraine ", Kiev, 2014. Anthropometric characteristics and functional parameters of respiration, physical working ability and mental capacity, psychomotor activity, sensory abilities, as well as the ratio of functional aging were researched among the elderly persons. Retrospective professional activities were analyzed in the surveyed seniors. Results of the research were used to justify, develop, and offer a method of quantifying the residual working ability amount of an elderly people. A quantitative characteristic of factors affecting the residual working ability were evaluated, including professional activity, family and household factors, health indicators, physical activity...
