摘要: Abstract It is known that maximum acceptable weight of lift (MAWL) decreases as the frequency lifting increases. The purpose this study was to quantify relationship between and MAWL, generate models for predicting mean MAWLs males females from lifting. Published experimental studies have reported MAWL at different frequencies were identified regression methods used evaluate MAWL. best fitting logarithmic but they accounted less than 50% variance. This reflects heterogeneity experiments included. Normalising one per minute improved predictive power models, accounting more 80% Linear work rate in kg/min showed even higher levels accuracy. Relevance industry paper presents simple mathematical can be predict or handling a specific frequency. Therefore, job design evaluation tools.
