Most of studies on Manual Material Handling (MMH) tasks for finding lifting capacity were done on general population; these were not done for underweight, normal weight and overweight workers. MMH task involves the use of the human body to lift, lower or carry loads. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of psychophysical approach on MAWL for underweight, normal weight and overwei...

Subjects prepare for a whole body lifting movement by adjusting their posture and scaling their lifting forces to the expected object weight. The expectancy is based on visual and haptic size cues. This study aimed to find out whether lifting force overshoots related to object size cues disappear or persist over a number of repeated lifts. In addition, the influence of the degree of alternation...

Resistance and aerobic exercise is recommended for cardiovascular health and disease prevention. However, the accompanying increase in arterial pressure during resistance exercise may be detrimental to vascular health. This study tests the vascular benefits of aerobic compared with resistance exercise on preventing impaired vascular function induced by a single weight lifting session that is as...

Abstract. The goal of this paper is to construct the p-adic analytic family of overconvergent half-integral weight modular forms using Hecke-equivariant overconvergent Shintani lifting. The classical Shintani map(see [Shn]) is the Hecke-equivariant map from the space of cusp forms of integral weight to the space of cusp forms of half-integral weight. Glenn Stevens proved in [St1] that there is ...
