Average effort as a function of lifting task parameters
| Observation no. | Weight of load | Horizontaldistance | Twisting angle | Vertical travel distance | Average effort | Sum |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interpretation of linguistic descriptors for task parameters: 1, light, close, small, or short; 2, moderate; 3, heavy, far, large, or long. | ||||||
| Interpretation of linguistic descriptors for effort: 1, very low; 2, low; 3, moderate; 4, somewhat high; 5, high; 6, very high; 7, extremely high. | ||||||
| The data have been ordered by increasing value of effort. | ||||||
| Sum = 2 × weight level + horizontal distance level + twisting angle level + vertical travel distance level. | ||||||
