Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare dynamic lifting strengths of females and males working in teams of two and three members. The experimental data from two laboratory experiments was used for the purpose of statistical comparison of team strength values for dynamic back extension and dynamic lifting strengths. 15 two-member teams, all male and all female, and 20 three-member teams, all male and all female, participated in the study. Comparison of the team strengths for males and females indicates that on the average, female 2-person strengths account for about 65% and 62% of that of males for dynamic lift and back extension, respectively. For the teams of three people, females are weaker than males by about 28% and 21%, with respect to dynamic lift and back extension strength measures, respectively.
