Description:
Twenty-eight healthy men (n=14) and women (n=14) lifted a milk crate in the sagittal plane from floor to knuckle height ten times using a symmetric stance in order to determine if asymmetries were both present and consistent within a lifting bout. Mean ground reaction forces under each foot were compared over the entire lift, an initial unweighting phase during the countermovement, a weighting phase, and a final unweighting phase when coming to a stop in the upright standing position. Paired t-tests with p
