This workload has been widely measured through energy expenditure-based workload assessment (expressed in kcal/kg/min). However, this calculation method excluded physical characteristic of individual into its calculation, meanwhile it may greatly influenced metabolism system of an individual. Thus, there is a big possibility that the use of kcal/kg/min workload unit in comparing workload among different individuals conducting the same physical work had ended in an erroneous reading.<span>  </span>Therefore, a study on alternative workload measurement that provides a fair assessment when the assessment is conducted among different individuals performing same physical activity is significantly important.<span>  </span>This study proposed an alternative workload calculation approach, in which the workload unit was expressed in %VdotO2max.<span>  </span>The results showed that alternative workload measurement provided excellent accurateness similar to that provided by conventional workload assessment method.<span>  </span>Further analysis showed that<span>  </span>the proposed unit showed a fair reading when the analysis was carried out to more than one individual.<span>  </span>This was because<span>  </span>the proposed unit considered maximum physical work capacity (short term) of each individual in its calculation.</p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika}, author={YoviEfi Yuliati}, year={1}, month={1}, pages={140-145} }
