Abstract
Human life can not be separated from daily activities, where the body needs adjustments for a long time. The body's ability to adjust can be reduced because the body has a threshold value. Fatigue will arise when doing activities with a high workload and within a period of time Fatigue is a condition of decreased physical activity, work motivation, and loss of efficiency and endurance after work activity. The purpose of this study is to prove the effectiveness of giving bananas (Musa Paradisiaca) by vacuum frying to the level of fatigue in Construction workers Quantitative research methods with quasi-experimental design Research variables include: age, years of work, smoking habits, and length of work hours. The results showed that there was a decrease in the level of fatigue of workers after being given bananas with a vacuum frying technique for 10 days. Benefits of buyers This program is to provide input to the work environment in the construction sector to pay attention to alternative supplements that can be consumed by workers to reduce work fatigue. This research is expected to be one of the policies that must be considered by construction companies for the work safety and health of their workers.
Highlights
Human life cannot be separated from daily activities
Hypotheses on this research are "there is the influence of banana fruit giving (Musa Paradisiaca) with the technique of Vacuum Frying against fatigue level in construction workers
The level of worker fatigue can be reduced by providing additional supplements in the form of banana chips with the vacuum frying method
Summary
Human life cannot be separated from daily activities. The body has the ability to adjust for a long time. The body's ability to conform in certain circumstances may diminish because the body has a threshold value. Fatigue will arise when conducting continuous activities with high loads and long periods of time [1]. Fatigue can occur due to a mechanism that occurs in the body. It takes the style and activity of the muscles to gain energy. The energy gained is used by muscles to contraction and relaxation. The primary energy source for muscle movement is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). The available amount can only be used for contraction within a few seconds. Ongoing activities will drain ATP, causing fatigue
