		Holding or carrying loads in the arms
		Manipulations that require the arms to be held out horizontally
		Turning a steering wheel
		Raising the arms above the shoulders for long periods of time

Question 3

		5th percentile
		50th percentile

		Sagittal plane
		Coronal plane
		Transverse plane
		Diagonal plane

Question 5

		Equitable use
		Simple and intuitive use
		Low physical effort
		Psychological use

Question 6

An example of an _________ contraction would be carrying an object in front of the body.

		eccentric
		isometric
		isotonic
		isokinetic

Question 7

Which of the following terminologies is the reference for the height of a seat?

		Sitting knee height
		Sitting hip height
		Sitting popliteal height

Question 8

The color of the slow twitch fibers are __________ due to an abundance of capillaries that provide oxygenated blood for long-duration activities.

		red
		white
		grey
		yellow

Question 9

For a measurement of static strength, the strength datum is the mean score recorded during the first __________ seconds of steady exertion.

		2
		3
		5
		7

Question 10

In __________ testing, subjects perform lifting tasks to determine maximum safe levels of exertion based on their personal perspective of acceptable risk. This method is dependent upon cooperation from the subject, expertise from the evaluator, and good judgment on the part of both the subject and evaluator to ensure the safety of the test and the accuracy of the data.

		isometric strength

Question 11

Discuss the Case Study by Andres et al. shown at the end of Chapter 4 in the textbook (page 114). [GS1] Do you agree with the conclusions and recommendations for the case study? Why or why not? What have you learned from the Case Study.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least textbook:

as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have IN-TEXT CITATIONS!

Question 12

Discuss the procedure for design using anthropometric data. Include Confidence Intervals (CIs). Select any one anthropometric measurement for males or females in Table 5.3 and find 90% CI for the mean measurement of the population using the equation (5.2) on page 146 of the textbook.
