The average age was 43.1 •} 4.7 years. The miners had an average peak oxygen consumption 2.9 •} 0.5 1.min-1, corresponding to 99.7 •} 20.4% of the predicted maximal oxygen consumption. Physical fitness of lignite miners was comparable with reference values for healthy men in Czech population. The level of physical fitness did not correlate with the length of exposure to underground work.
