With recent advances regarding underlying theories, experimental approaches, and instrumentation techniques, the topic of human strength exertion and measurement can now be defined, analyzed, and researched systematically. Given the acute interest in modelling the human/task/equipment system, definite knowledge of human strength capabilities is needed.
