AB  - The study group comprised 20 teachers in the higher course of a secondary school, 
      examined while performing their daily teaching work, and 7 teachers in a national 
      secondary school for classic languages and cultures, where a new intensified 
      teaching program has been established. To evaluate tension and characterize some 
      of its determinants, the authors determined throughout the working day the 
      following parameters: urinary excretion of 11-oxycorticosteroids (11-OCS), 
      17-oxycorticosteroids (17-OCS), 17-ketosteroids (17-KS), adrenaline (A) and 
      noradrenaline (NA). The influence of age was assessed by determing all these 
      parameters in 5 different age groups. It was found that these biochemical tests 
      give a reliable insight of the strain with which teacher's work is associated. 
      The usual daily strain was accompanied by a moderate increase in NA, A and 11-OCS 
      excretion. Work associated with great emotional strain produced a great increase 
      in the urinary levels of these parameters. The onset of the working day and work 
      during the afternoon shift proved to be additional burden to the organism, which 
      was adequately evaluated by the levels of 11-OCS, 17-KS and 17-OCS. Significant 
      were the age-conditioned changes only in the 17-KS level after the age of 45.
