This survey studied the effect of becak (trishaw) driving on physique and muscle strength. For this purpose, some anthropometric values and muscle strength of bacak drivers in Bandung City, West Java were assessed. The becak drivers were taller, heavier, and had longer legs, greater thigh girth, and greater back muscle strength than a control group of farmers. These differences are suggested to arise from the working conditions of becak driving.
