Develop a regression model for relationship between psychophysical and biomechanics factors of push activities

In aerospace industries , many working tasks required their workers to perform the works in push-pull activity.The workers need to push or pull the mould tool in a long distance into a workplace.Performing these activity continuously throughout the working hours,may lead to an early initiation of mu...
