Description
Summary:This research studies the shift work effect towards muscular endurance among security officers of higher education institution in East Coast Malaysia. The objective of this study was to determine the association between shift and muscular endurance of security officers in higher education institution. In this study, abdominal muscular endurance, upper body muscular endurance and also leg and full body muscular endurance are measured and taken into account in this study. Male security officers (n = 15) and female security officers (n = 4) were participates as the subjects of the research. Muscular endurance was measured by sit-up test (1 minute), push-up test (1 minute) and burpee test (30 seconds). Correlation analysis was made between sleeping hour and muscular endurance yielded there is no association between shift work and muscular endurance (r = - 0.126, p = 0.608) and not significant at p = 0.05. In conclusion, shift work has no relationship with level of muscular endurance.
