Pulling force in lateral lifting and lowering

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the maximal voluntary lateral hand pulling force in a sample of healthy, habitually active men. Findings showed that static pulling forces were highest in flexed positions to the loaded side. Peak and position-specific pulling force decreased with increasing velocity in lifting. In contrast, pulling forces were higher than during lifting at corresponding velocities. Maximal voluntary pulling force in the frontal plane was found to be task dependent.

Can accelerometry accurately predict the energy cost of uphill/downhill walking?

Article Abstract:

Research is presented that investigates whether an accurate assessment of the energy cost of human locomotion can be deducted by an activity monitor based on accelorometry.
