4 What are the various types of physical ability?

Although the changing nature of work suggests that intellectual ability is increasingly
important for many jobs, physical competence has been, is, and will remain valuable.
Strength generally refers to the degree to which the body is capable of exerting force,
there are actually several different types of strength that are important, depending on
the job.
Static strength refers to the ability to exert muscle force repeatedly or continuously
over time. Static strength involves jobs where people need to lift objects such as boxes,
equipment, machine parts, and heavy tools.
Explosive power refers to the ability to exert force on external objectsis, understood as
a person creating short bursts of energy to move a body or an object. Employees who
are required to run, jump, or throw things in the workplace depend on their explosive
strength to be effective.
Dynamic strength refers to the ability to use force for a long period of time without
becoming too tired and exhausted. Dynamic strength involves jobs where employees
have to climb ropes or ladders or pull themselves onto platforms.
Although jobs requiring physical strength may vary as to which category is important,
there are also many jobs that require all three categories.
For example: firefighters often have to pass harsh strength tests before being hired. In
Dublin, California, part of a firefighter's strength test consisted of climbing a long
flight of stairs in limited time without touching the rails while wearing a 50-pound
vest. pound and carry another 25-pound device. Another part of the test involved
safely moving the 165-pound dummy away from the victim.
Stamina refers to the ability of a person's lungs and circulatory system to function
efficiently when they engage in prolonged physical activity.
Example: Gymnasts often need to have good stamina to be able to participate in
activities that require running, swimming, and climbing. In addition, with a job as a
commercial diver or firefighter, it is also necessary to have the endurance to participate
at any time because the nature of this activity will cause the heart rate to increase,
depth and breathing rate to increase in a time long.
Flexibility and coordination:
flexibility refers to the ability to bend, stretch, twist, or reach.
When a job requires an extremely high range of motion - for example, when people
need to work in a cramped compartment or an awkward position - the type of
flexibility involved is called degree flexibility.
For example: If you've ever watched a dancer practice dancing or performing, you'll
see how flexible it can be.
When a job requires repetitive and slight bending, stretching, twisting or reaching, the
type of flexibility involved is called dynamic flexibility.
To understand what is involved in dynamic versatility, picture a house painter on a
ladder trying to paint some easily accessible decorations.
In addition to flexibility, coordination, or the quality of physical movement, may be
important in some jobs.
Gross body coordination refers to the ability to synchronize the movements of the
body, arms, and legs to do something while the whole body is in motion. In contrast,
gross body equilibrium involves the ability to maintain the balance of the body in
unstable contexts or when the person has to change directions.
For example: Jumping rope effectively requires gross body coordination; walking on a
balance beam requires gross body equilibrium. Both types of coordination are
important in contexts that involve quick movements.
Psychomotor abilities There are several different examples of psychomotor abilities,
which generally refer to the capacity to manipulate and control objects. Fine
manipulative abilities refers to the ability to stabilize the arm and hand to perform
precise tasks, such as a doctor's job or repairing small electronic objects. Control
movement abilities is very important in tasks where people have to make various
precise adjustments, using machines to get the job done efficiently. The ability to
quickly choose the right action in response to a number of different signals is known
as feedback orientation. It is not too difficult to imagine the importance of response
orientation for an airline pilot who responds to flashing lights, whistles, and verbal
communications activated during an in-flight emergency. The final psychomotor
ability we describe is called response time. This ability reflects how quickly an
individual responds to signal information after it has occurred. Going back to the
previous example, most of us would feel more secure if our airline pilot had both a
quick response orientation and a fast response time.
Sensory abilities refer to capabilities associated with vision and hearing. Examples of
visual acuity include the ability to see things up close and at a distance or in low-light
situations, as well as the ability to perceive colors and judge the relative distances of
things in a clear way. exactly. There are various jobs that emphasize only one or two
of these visual abilities. For example, while being effective as a watchmaker depends
on good near vision, effectiveness as an interior designer depends on being able to
discern colors visually. Or about the job of a fighter pilot, they need night vision to
conduct operations in low light conditions and color vision to interpret information
from warning lights and computers. read correctly.
Abilities related to hearing, including the ability to hear and distinguish sounds that
differ in pitch and loudness, the ability to focus on a single sound when many other
sounds are present, and the ability to identify and understand other people's voices.
Musicians and composers are considered the most obvious example of the importance
of hearing. With these jobs, however, the focus will likely be on auditory sensitivity
and auditory attention rather than speech recognition.

Casestudy Airlines
Cognitive Ability
Vietnam Airlines Corporation - Vietnam Airlines is the national airline of Vietnam;
was established in 1956; started with five propeller planes and the first domestic
flight took off in September 1956. The lotus symbol is the result of more than 10
years of searching and testing the iconic model of Vietnam Airlines, this is the
work of Japanese artist Victor Kubo, symbolizing enlightenment and perfection,
not only soft but also poised and sturdy.

In terms of spatial ability, they need to be skilled in spatial positioning intuitively,

with a precise sense of direction. The human body has 4 sensory systems that
constantly interact to navigate in space, including vision, hearing, muscle
inductance, and vestibule, in which vision plays a key role. Having to observe
everything around flexibly, flight attendants must have sharp observations and
absolute good eyesight. Therefore, candidates will be tested for distance vision and
color blindness.

Regarding the perception ability, it is required that the flight attendants must have
the acumen to locate with their intuition, should not rely on the metamorphosis of
machines, must have the skill to sense the danger forecast that will occur. There are
sharp observations, such as attention to the surrounding space, the clocks in the
cockpit, maps and screens so that when there is a deviation, they can be corrected
in time. In addition, it is necessary to learn how to handle inadequacies and escape
situations. Try your best to be able to control all situations and ensure flight safety.
