    Dear Biomch-L subscribers:

    In partial reply to Marc's query, I suggest Ms. Goss looks at:

    Whittle MW, Sargeant AJ, Johns L
    Computerised analysis of knee moments during weightlifting
    Biomechanics XI-B (eds. G. de Groot, A.P. Hollander, P.A. Huijing,
    G.J. van Ingen Schenau) Free University Press, Amsterdam,
    pp. 885-8, 1988.

    This gives the knee angles and moments in a single subject during
    a particularly stressful activity - a "clean-and-jerk" weighlifting
    lift of 165kg!
