Energy expenditure, pulse rate and angles of body bend was measured at standing posture for ten female pool graduate students. The subject ward selected based on elbow height and the body positions studied for dishwashing were sink at elbow height, sink at 10 cm less than elbow height, sink at 20 cm less than elbow height and at laboratory sink height of 76.5 cm. It was observed that, sink height of 10 cm lets than elbow height was found more suitable because of less energy expenditure (1.72 k cal/min). least pulse rate (91.99 beats/min) and new angle of body bend (102°) Hence, sink at 10 cm less than elbow height can he suggested as optimum sink height
