Working capacity is treated as functional abilities of a human; it is always characterized by effectiveness when work in a certain period of time.

Working capacity is an ability to do a certain type of work within established time-limit. Working capacity reflects a biological state of a human, his social importance. Fundamentals of working capacity are based on special knowledge, skills and competence, psychological and physiological peculiarities.

Working capacity depends on motivation, objections and opportunities. Working capacity is determined by 3 groups of inner and outer factors:

1.Physiological factors: gender, health, cardiovascular system, respiratory system;

2.Physical factors: working conditions, convenience of a work seat, harmful factors, schedule of work and rest;

3.Psychological factor: general physical and mental state, mood, motivation, endurance, emotional stability.

Basic characteristics of working capacity:

kicking into gear, doing work the best way, getting satisfaction from work;
volitional powers, a strong wish to succeed;
active life position, responsibility and creativity;
commitment of creative and physical power.

Working capacity is a variable value; it is closely connected with the changes observed in the human body.

There are 3 periods of working capacity.

Period 1 – from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m when working capacity grows rapidly.

Period 2 – from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m when maximum working capacity is observed at 6 p.m.

Period 3 – from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m when working capacity is usually reduced by 3 a.m. and gets higher by 6 a.m.
