Many studies have been done to determine the magnitudes of force a man can exert on the objects. However, very little attention has been paid to those In postures on slopes. This paper was aimed to evalute how human work postures would affect the push/pull force and to grasp the relationships between the rectified EMG(REMG) measured at the trunk muscles and force exerted on upward slopes. Two subjects participated in the experiment. The results showed no lineal relationship between the REMG and exerted force at handle. But as the slope and handle height increased, exerted force and muscular stress on erector spinae or rectus abdominis were generally increased. It was notified that since ANOVA did not detect any statistical significance in REMG variation due to dominant muscles, careful application and interpretation of the REMG should be required in analyzing maximal force exertions.
