Abstract

Reviews the book, Znuzenie O fizjologicznych podstawach racjonalizacji pracy by Włodzimierz Missiuro (1946). The book is concerned primarily with fundamental questions of fatigue. The applied problems are considered only briefly. Three types of fatigue are distinguished: fatigue produced by physical activity, associated with mental effort, and related to emotional strain. The author focuses his attention on fatigue resulting from muscular work. In terms of the intensity of its manifestations and the speed of recovery, fatigue is classified as subacute, acute, and chronic. The text is somewhat uneven in difficulty.
