First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 40 factory workers to compare how different jobs affect the body. Blue-collar workers (who do physical tasks) and white-collar workers (who sit at desks) were checked for muscle strength, flexibility, and pain. The goal was to find out which job types have higher ergonomic risks and to suggest ways to prevent injuries.
