• Abstract:
  Data from 13 body measurements and 4 strength tests on 152 female flight attendants are reported herein. The stewardesses are taller (x bar = 165.8 cm) and lighter (x bar = 54.6 kg) than the corresponding age in the civilian population. The strength tests are reported as the average plateau, maximum force, and pound-second force for a two-handed push (110 cm from floor), leg lift (25 cm from floor), back lift (50 cm from floor), and arm lift (100 cm from floor). ; There are no comparable data in the literature; thus, these data can provide a general guideline as to the maximum strength capabilities of the on-line airline stewardess.
