    Este estudio intenta, mediante la evaluación de una serie de indicadores biológicos y conductuales, reconocer cual o cuales de ellos serían buenos indicadores del grado de adaptación de un sujeto a un turno de trabajo rotativo. Mediante el análisis de cinco variables fisiológicas: ritmo cardíaco, presión sanguínea sistólica, presión sanguínea diastólica, ritmo respiratorio, temperatura corporal periférica, y dos conductuales: criterio de respuesta y detectabilidad en una prueba de vigilancia, podemos predecir el rendimiento y el grado de adaptación de un sujeto para tareas laborales de carácter rotativo.

    El estudio asimismo, detecta una serie de significativas alteraciones en los sujetos que desempeñan este tipo de tareas, que pueden ser las responsables de las disminuciones en productividad en este tipo de trabajadores.

    By the evaluation of some biological and behavioural indicators, this study attemps to recognize which of them would be right signals of the subjects adaptation level to the shift-work.

    We can predict the subjects efficiency and adaptation level to the shift-work by the measurement of five physiological variables: cardiac rythm, sistolic preassure, diastolic preassure, breathing rythm, peripherical temperature, and two behavioural variables: answer criterion and awakeness test detection.

    Therefore, this study detects some relevant alterations in those subjects who carry out this short of tasks, which can be the origin of the workers decreasing productivity.
