Participants had to transfer boxes from one pallet to another. Males and females transferred the same absolute load of 15-kg boxes. Females transferred 10-kg boxes to have the same relative load as males. The lifting technique used by females was different from that used by males. The technique used by females puts them at greater risk of back injuries.
