Best 30 / Worst 30 for Shoulder Safety - July 2001
The best (lowest rank number) are the safest for the shoulder; the worst are dangerous. The macro criterion of Shoulder Safety comprises the evaluation criteria of Shoulder Crunch, Shoulder Pull, Torque, and Impact Force. Impact Force had exactly the same rankings as Impulse Reaction. Each of these evaluation criteria (Torque, etc.) produced composite rankings when the results under the five benchmark conditions were compiled, weighted, summed, and sorted. These composite rankings then were compiled, summed, and sorted to produce rankings under the macro criterion of Shoulder Safety.
