Abstract

Comparative evaluation of different storage height. viz., 6 inches, 18 inches, 30 inches, 42 inches, 54 inches and 66 inches on the basis of pulmonary ventilation rate blood pressure and respiration frequency of selected 9 female subjects of different height categories (upto 5′, 5′ to 5′2″ and 5′2″ to 5′4″) for storing utensils of various loads (light, medium and heavy) In squatting cum bending and standing posture was done. Results showed that physiological costs of storing utensils were lowest on the shelf height of 42 inches for subjects of all heights. It can thus be concluded that among all the subjects of 3 height categories, storing of light load utensils on the shelf height of 42 inches in a standing position is least fatiguing whereas, the storing of heavy load utensils on the shelf height of 6 inches in squatting cum bending position is most taxing to the human body.
