Abstract：To establish a database of muscle strength of the Chinese people. The study sampled data of 843 Chinese young males all over the country. Back force, hand twisting force and arm force of four different exerting directions (pull, push, adduction and abduction) were measured. Comparisons were made between the results of this study and those from other documents. Different types of the strength were also compared. The factors of stature and weight influenced on muscle force were analyzed. There are obvious difference of arm strength in four directions, which can be ordered as push, pull, adduction and abduction, the push force is the largest and the abduction force is the least. The significant correlation exists between different types force. Weight has an obvious influence on one’s force among above three factors. Chinese young males database is established at the first time. Results of the study can provide help for the ergonomists, the workers of occupation health and the researchers of rehabilitation.
