ABSTRACT

Notes Ninety percent of the female population should be able to per-

form at this level without excessive strain. The data assume the load is handled atabout waist height. The table is excerpted and adapted from Snook and Ciriello,

1990. For additional parameters such as different heights and segments of the population, see the original source. For similar guidelines under different circumstances, such as acceptable forces while kneeling or lying down, see Mital et. al, 1993.
