The study entitled “Assessment of Physiological Cost of Selected Carpentry Tasks” was conducted to find out the posture adoption and physiological cost of selected carpentry tasks. The sample of the study comprised 45 carpenters from Parbhani town of marathwada region involved in selected carpentry tasks viz cutting with randha machine, cutting with hand tools, finishing with randha machine, finishing with hand tools and fitting. Goniometer was used for measuring the postural angle at lumbar, cervical and elbow region. Physiological cost of selected carpentry tasks was assessed by recording heart rate, energy expenditure and cardiac cost of carpenters while performing the selected tasks. Findings of the study indicated that higher angle of deviation at cervical point was noticed while cutting & finishing with hand tools, at elbow point was recorded for the task of cutting & finishing on randha machine and at lumbar point was noticed for the task of fitting. The physiological cost of carpentry task of cutting was more when selected carpenters performed cutting task with hand tools than by randha machine.
