The improvement of social conditions increased the number of individuals with an unhealthy weight. Obviously, obese people represent a significant fraction of the working population. However, relatively to the effect of obesity on the ability to work only a few parameters have been studied, which also involve some controversy. In the occupational context, the manual handling tasks, including lifting and/or lowering loads, are common and produce significant musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). For these reasons, the main objective of the proposed study is to analyze the obesity as a potential risk factor for the development of MSD related to these tasks. With this purpose, psychophysical and biomechanical data from individuals with different bo...
