Physiological and subjective measures of workload when shovelling with a conventional and two-handled ("leveled") shovel / R.S. Bridger... [et al.]

The aim of this experiment was to determine whether less energy was consumed while shovelling a load of sand with this shovel compared to a conventional tool
