• Males whose maximal relative upper body strength is below 1.0 and females whose maximal relative upper body strength is below 0.75 will be excluded.
• Males whose maximal relative lower body strength is below 1.5 will be excluded and females whose maximal relative upper body strength is below 1.25 will be excluded.
