ABSTRACT

Professor Jozef Rutenfranz was one of the founders of the European Group of PediatricWork Physiology. He passed away in 1989, having produced as an author or co-author 149 PubMed-listed publications. From this impressive list of work it can be learned that Professor Rutenfranz had a broad interest in many topics. Two of these topics seem to have been of his prime interest: i.e. occupational work physiology applied to the assessment of an acceptable physiological load at work and issues related to the paediatric exercise field in its broadest sense.
