Abstract
The static muscular strength of the back extensors, arm flexors and hand grip were measured on industrial workers (463 men and 139 women) involved in physically demanding jobs. No significant differences in strength were found among workers on different jobs. However, strength differences were evident with respect to age and sex; women were about 60 percent as strong as men, and men below 31 years of age were stronger than men above this age.
