I am reading an news article “The art of safer snow shoveling”(https://yle.fi/a/74-20008247).
“It is important that the handle on a snow sledge is the right length, not to short and not too long. A handle that is too long leads to a constant raising of the shoulders, and if too short it leads to them being hunched down. ”.
I am not clear what is the meaning of “…it leads to them being hunched down. ”. In the above citation, is them referred to shoulders and what does it look like about hunched down?
