Isometric Strength data
State that log transformations have most effect on the shape of the distribution when the data span several orders of magnitude.
In the data set above, the largest value is 5.4 times the smallest (less than 1 order of magnitude), so the log transformation has much less effect on skewness.
In an ergonomic study involving a group of 41 male students from the University of Hong Kong, each student was asked to exert maximum upward force on a horizontal bar which was close to floor level, with his feet 400mm away from the bar. The force, averaged over a 5-second period, is called the 'maximum voluntary isometric strength' (MVIS) and is recorded in kilograms.
