A Study to Analyze the Degree of the Relationship Between Health Practices and Fatigue

Abstract

The intention of this research was to examine the health practices of higher ranked individuals, both military and civilian, at Aeronautical Systems Division to determine if a relationship exists between the health practices they are following and the amount of fatigue they are experiencing. The health practices studied were: alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, amount of exercise, eating habits, sleeping habits, smoking habits, and psychological stress management. These seven health practices were analyzed and compared to the amount of fatigue being experienced for both psychological and physiological fatigue. The level of fatigue was determined by individual responses to subjective self-analysis questions. Comparisons were also made between military and civilian personnel to determine if significant differences existed in health practices or in levels of fatigue. Theses
