Note. A, During the trial without exoskeletons in PE Position subject 0305 exhibited such high levels of local fatigue within the shoulder muscles that two short breaks of approximately 2 min each were required. B, During the trial without exoskeletons in PE Position subject 0306 exhibited such high levels of local fatigue within the shoulder muscles that a short breaks of approximately 2 min were required.
