ABSTRACT:
Methods are provided for evaluating the physical work capacity of a person by determining maximum acceptable lifting weight. The methods may also provide a normative performance ranking, may monitor starting heart rate as an indicia of maximum acceptable weight, and may use a progressive or recursive set of subtests. The invention further includes methods for evaluating constant work capacity, and also includes devices and kits for practicing the claimed methods.
