Lesiones musculo-esqueléticas frecuentemente afectan a esta población dominantemente de varones. Este estudio presenta y cuantifica el potencial de problemas relacionados con estas labores, donde las posturas incómodas y las numerosas repeticiones, así como el manejo de cargas y las largas jornadas de trabajo son la causa. La rotación de siembras requiere de alta exposición a ese tipo de prácticas s, tanto en zanahoria y papa como en lechuga, que se mantiene durante todo año. Las zonas corporales más lesionadas son la espalda baja, las rodillas y los hombros, y en segundo orden, manos y muñecas. La intervención con nuevas herramientas y organización del trabajo es indispensable ante estos resultados.]]></p></abstract>

Musculoskeletal injuries are frequently developed among male population who are high involve in this activity. This study shows and quantifies the potential of ergonomic risks in agriculture tasks where awkward postures, high repetitions, load handling, and long working hours affect the health of farm workers. The planting rotation conducts to high ergonomic exposure in carrots, potatoes and lettuces farming, which increases the risk of injuries, mainly in bodily areas such as the lower back, knees and shoulders, and in second order, in hands and wrists. These results demand intervention with new tools and work organization.]]></p></abstract>
