“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Mital, Anil and Genaidy, Ashraf M. (1989): Isokinetic Strengths and Working Posture. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 632-636.

“This paper presents isokinetic (dynamic) pull-up strength profiles of males and females, engaged in infrequent force exertion, in fifteen different working postures ranging from kneeling to standing. Maximum pull-up force was exerted with two hands in the stooped posture. Least force was exerted with the preferred hand at reach distance, in the sagittal plane (arm fully extended), in the sitting posture. As expected, large differences existed in the force exertion capability of males and females.”

Genaidy, Ashraf M., Asfour, Shihab S. and Khalil, Tarek M. (1988): Preliminary Physiological and Psychophysical Guidelines for Continuous Lifting Tasks. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 690-694.

“The objective of this research was to study the effects of task parameters on physiological and psychophysical limits for prolonged lifting activities. The results of this study indicate that (1) The endurance time of individuals decreased with the increase of the frequency and the weight of load, and (2) physiological responses are dependent on lifting task parameters.”

Genaidy, Ashraf M., Duyos, Jorge R. and Asfour, Shihab S. (1987): Physiological Stresses Associated with Manual Handling of Containers of Varied Sizes and Weights: A Case Study. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1326-1330.

“The main objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological strain imposed on individuals engaged in unloading boxes from a truck. The actual operation was performed in one of the local industries, and was videotaped and timed. This operation served as a basis for a simulation study in the authors' laboratory. Six subjects participated in this study. Since the containers utilized in the actual operation varied greatly, empirical distributions derived from the box sizes and weights handled at that industry were developed based on a sample of 466 boxes. The frequency of handling was 20 times/min. The task duration was 30 min. Heart rate and oxygen consumption were recorded every 5 min for a period of 5 min. The results showed that the task performed can be classified as very heavy work compared to industrial tasks reported in the literature. Physiological responses showed a significant increase over time.”
