Maximum acceptable weight of manual load carriage for young Taiwanese males.
This study examined the maximum acceptable weight of carriage (MAWC) for young Taiwanese males experienced in manual load carriage tasks. The elements of the examined load carriage tasks included lifting a box from the floor to the waist height, turning around while holding the box, carrying the box at the waist height for a distance, lowering the box to the floor, turning around, and walking u...
متن کاملEnergy expenditure in manual load carriage.
From observations on load carriage on subjects engaged solely for the manual carriage of compact loads of a given range of weights, over a range of self selected speeds, Gross Load (Body weight plus weight of external load) and the speed of carriage were found to be the principal influences in determining the energy expenditures of the tasks and the cardiorespiratory changes during their perfor...
متن کاملEffect of background music on maximum acceptable weight of manual lifting tasks.
This study used the psychophysical approach to investigate the impact of tempo and volume of background music on the maximum acceptable weight of lift (MAWL), heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of participants engaged in lifting. Ten male college students participated in this study. They lifted a box from the floor, walked 1-2 steps as required, placed the box on a table and...
متن کاملDetermining Changes in Electromyography Indices when Measuring Maximum Acceptable Weight of Lift in Iranian Male Students
Background: In spite of the increasing degree of automation in industry, manual material handling (MMH) is still performed in many occupational settings. The aim of the current study was to determine the maximum acceptable weight of lift using psychophysical and electromyography indices.Methods: This experimental study was conducted among 15 male students recruited from Tehran University of Med...
متن کاملIsometric push and pull strengths of young Taiwanese males.
This study recruited 30 young Taiwanese males to determine the horizontally maximum isometric pushing and pulling strengths under 16 exertion heights and four handle-foot horizontal distances. This study shows that isometric push and pull strengths as measured on a simulated frictional floor condition in Taiwanese hypermarkets were markedly lower than previous tests using high-traction flooring...
