Human strength capabilities during one handed maximum voluntary exertions in the fore and aft plane / David M. Fothergill, Donald W. Grieve and Stephen T. Pheasant
Sumario: The first objective of the current study was therefore to describe human strength capabilities during one handed maximal voluntary exertions in the fore and aft plane in free style postures. In order for the strength data to be potentially useful as an aid in task design and in the recognition of hazards during manual exertion, forces are presented in vector form as a postural stability diagram. Further objectives of the present study were to investigate the influence and interactions of sex, handle height and direction of exertion on one handed strength; and to compare the strength of one and two handed exertions
