abstract="The judgment of the functional capacity of the body in the practice of occupational medicine is imperatively necessary for fitness examinations and controls. Issuing from the climbing apparatus method developed by Kaltenbach and Klepzig a simple screening test concerning the functional diagnosis is controlled as to its applicability in the practice of occupational medicine and its evidence with the help of ergometric comparative examinations. 266 healthy workers as well as 92 patients with chronic disease of the respiratory tract or ischaemic heart disease were examined. The results showed: -A good reproducibility of the measurement of the heart rate in the screening test of functional capacity, -a good correlation with submaximal loads on the bicycle ergometer and -a correspondence between the scaled results of the screening test and the loads of the bicycle ergometer from 53 to 71%, on an average 58%. For the whole group of persons examined the correlation coefficient r was 0.52.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
