The effect of concurrent mental and physical fatigue on physical endurance performance, strength and muscle activity: a pilot study
Pabla, Rahul K. (2021-10-01)A significant amount of research focus has been dedicated to physical and mental fatigue individually, but their combined effects on physical performance are relatively underexplored. As such, the purpose of this pilot ... -
The effect of hand dominance on manual arm strength
Wakeely, Fahima (2021-11-01)In the design of manual work tasks, considering task demands in the context of human strength capability has been vital to assessing workplace musculoskeletal injury risk. This is particularly true for the upper extremities, ... -
The effect of neck muscle fatigue on shoulder humeral rotation proprioception
Russell, Matthew S. (2019-11-01)Fatigue of the cervical extensor muscles (CEM) is thought to disrupt afferent feedback from postural mechanoreceptors as it has been observed to cause decrements in upper limb proprioceptive accuracy. There has been limited ... -
Exploring the effects of mental fatigue on perceptual motor task performance and kinematics
Fitzgerald, Sarah A. (2022-11-01)Mentally demanding tasks that require performance accuracy are common in several occupations. However, little is known about how mental fatigue can impact accuracy performance. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to ...
