One claim in this popular book wassthat fluorescent lighting could influence human musclesstrength, as measured by so-called kinesiologystesting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kinesiology testing claimed by some to aid insdiagnosing a variety of illnesses, involves a subjectivesevaluation of muscle tone in a contracting musclesIn the method used by Ott, the subject stands with ansarm held forward, parallel with the floor, and with thespalm down. The tester then pushes downward at theswrist while the subject resists this motion. Ott hasspublicly demonstrated that when a subject looks at ascool-white fluorescent light he is noticeably weakersthan when the light is turned off or when a full spectrumsfluorescent tube is viewed. Using the sameskinesiology testing he also concluded that electric-field shielding (by wire mesh) was needed on fluorescent light fixtures to prevent muscle weakness.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><call-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBL-20615</style></call-num><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Lighting Systems Group&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBL-20615</style></custom2></record></records></xml>
