THE LOAD-ENDURANCE RELATIONSHIP FOR A STATIC MANUAL RESPONSE

Abstract

An essentially linear relationship was obtained between the relative load (the percentage-of maximum strength) and the endurance of the manual response within the range of loads employed. As the load was increased from 50% to 80% of maximum strength, the mean endurance of manual pull de creased from 63.3 sec to 21.4 sec. A comparison of endurance scores for two arm position yielding different response strengths revealed little difference in performance despite the fact that the mean force to be maintained was 41% greater at one arm position than at the other.
