Regression models for six muscles, the left and right iliocostalis, the left and right erector spinae, and the left and right external oblique, were developed for asymmetry and height effects for floor and knuckle lifts. The models were based on participant anthropometric and other measures. Stepwise regression was performed for developing the prediction models. The models developed were discrete in terms of specific height and asymmetry. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
