This study evaluated the ergonomics and usability of axes. Several methods were used, namely measurement of impact velocity, the determination of kinetic energy, splitting performance tests, durability tests of blades and handles, and user trials. The mean velocity used in the striking was 9.6m/s (8.9-10.3m/s, SD 1.5). In the durability tests, the blades withstood the test reasonably well. In the bending tests, there were differences in the durability of the handles, which related to their material. A wide variation in the durability of the axe handles was also observed. User trials were conducted to evaluate the various features of the axes.
本研究评估了斧头的人体工程学和可用性。使用了几种方法，即冲击速度测量、动能测定、劈砍性能测试、刀片和手柄的耐久性测试以及用户试验。打击时使用的平均速度为9.6米/秒（8.9 - 10.3米/秒，标准差1.5）。在耐久性测试中，刀片经受住了测试，表现良好。在弯曲测试中，手柄的耐久性存在差异，这与它们的材料有关。还观察到斧柄耐久性的广泛差异。进行了用户试验以评估斧头的各种特性。
