Weight Lift Capabilities of Air Force Basic Trainees

Abstract

To establish physical strength and endurance criteria for assigning personnel to jobs with a heavy physical demand, weight lifting and holding tests were performed on Air Force basic trainees. These and other tests by the Air Force demonstrates a safe methodology for performing weight lift testing. Weight lift testing is valuable as a personnel screening and assignment criterion because it is highly correlated with the types of dynamic lifting in manual materials handling activities.
