Study aimed to compare the health-related physical fitness levels (HRPF) among young male workers from physically active and inactive occupation. Ninety four healthy male workers (18-30 years) were selected from 2 distinct occupational group, i.e., office (n = 46) and construction (n = 48). Constructions workers had significantly lower (p < 0.001) BMI, fat%, metabolic age (years), waist and hip circumference; and significantly higher (p < 0.001) body water % and lean body mass % as compared to office workers. Therefore, construction workers had superior back flexibility, trunk lift scores and aerobic capacity. Whereas, office workers showed significantly good performance only in hand strength. No significant difference was found for strength (pinch, explosive leg and back) and endurance (upper and core body) tests. Occupational physical activity (OPA) significantly influences the body composition, flexibility and aerobic capacity. Whereas, lack of OPA can be associated with increase in obesity, larger waist and hip circumference; and poor performance in most of the fitness test.

: The objective of the paper is to develop a standardised bottom-wear body size chart for young Indian men through a pan-India anthropometric survey. The research involved a pan-India anthropometric survey of 14 crucial body dimensions (required for bottom-wear) of 2,401 Indian male aged between 18–29 years. Statistical analysis of the anthropometric data was done through multivariate analysis using principal component analysis (PCA) and two-step cluster analysis as data mining techniques using SPSS 16. The developed size charts were validated statistically by calculating aggregate loss based on Euclidean distance. The research resulted in the selection of six body size charts based on standard deviation as well as cluster analysis. The aggregate loss values observed between 1.81 cm to 2.42 cm. The percentage coverage of the population ranged between 76.22% to 97.21% with a number of size categories ranged from 32 to 40. The research fills the gap in the Indian bottom-wear manufacturing setup by providing size chart developed as per anthropometric make of young Indian male. The developed size chart is envisaged to provide well-fitting bottom-wear to Indian costumers thereby reducing loss of sales and increasing consumer satisfaction. NIFT Delhi. His key areas of interest include industrial engineering, ergonomics, and apparel technology management. He is a core team member of India size project for undertaking national sizing survey of India. Noopur Anand is an academician with more than 22 years of experience. Her specialisation is in field of textiles and clothing. Her research interests are in areas of garment fit and sizing, pattern engineering and product development with special focus on ‘Smart Garments’. She has authored a book on Smart Maternity-wear which documents specifications for maternity wear having serviceable life beyond pregnancy, i.e., it fits well pre, during and post pregnancy period. She has also filed for patent for self-defence wearable – an anti-molestation jacket for protection of women from assailers.

Liquid sloshing is a kind of wave motion inside a partially filled tank. Fluid sloshing affects the stability of fuel tanker truck, because of the movement of the centre of gravity during different dynamic conditions on normal as well as on the grade highways. Hence, controlling sloshing is of prime importance for the prevention of accidents and casualties. For the present work, the tanker truck filled with kerosene fuel has been considered. The baffles are designed to control the phenomenon of sloshing to a maximum extent. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the tank with and without baffles is performed using Fluent® to study the amplitude of sloshing at different time instants. The baffles are designed in a way to ensure no hindrance during loading and unloading of the tanker truck.
