Popis: In our laboratory study 19 students effected 4 repetitive tasks of 70 min each. All four conditions had a motor task at the base and in addition two had to deal with discrimination. In the 2 tasks with discrimination, the electromyography of the neck muscles was distinctly higher than in the 2 other conditions. The tasks with discrimination were accompanied by a higher subjective tension, a lower heart rate variability and a slightly increased urinary excretion. The main cause for an augmentation in the muscle tonus might be the immobilisation of the neck.
