Application of Wavelet Transform to Endurance Time Analysis Method for Performance-based Seismic Design
… used domains in characterizing ground motions: time and frequency. In the time domain, ground motion characteristics such as peak ground acceleration (PGA), the time at which PGA occurs, and the overall duration of the ground excitation can be obtained. On the other hand, analyzing ground …

Cardiovascular adjustments to isometric contractions: The role of intensity of contraction, endurance time, and different muscle groups
… the influence of the intensity of contraction, endurance time, and the contracting muscle group on the cardiovascular responses to static exercise. Three primary questions were addressed: (1) Are the cardiovascular responses to isometric contractions dependent on the relative intensity of …

Influence of gender and obesity on motor performance, neuromuscular control and endurance in older adults
… on motor performance, neuromuscular control and endurance in the elderly, by examining differences in motor variability during intermittent submaximal isometric exertions of the knee and hand. Fifty-two older participants with age over 65 were recruited into four groups: obese male (9), obese …

Using Thermography to Evaluate the Effects of Arm Flexion and Loading on the Anterior Deltoid during a Simulated Overhead Task
… costs, an aging workforce, and long recovery times. Substantial research has been performed in the area of shoulder WMSDs and a number of risk factors have been implicated in their development; including static loads, repetition, and deviated posture. However, knowledge of underlying …

Evaluating obesity-related differences in upper extremity and trunk muscular capacity
… population, whose injuries often require more time away from work. Obesity and aging can modify job demands and affect worker capacity in terms of muscular and psychomotor function. However, there is a lack of empirical studies quantifying the work-relevant (or ergonomic) impacts related to …

Glutathione regulation during exercise: Effect of fasting-refeeding, glutathione depletion and supplementation
… and plasma. There was no difference in exercise endurance time between the GSH-adequate and GSH-depleted mice. However, exercise in the GSH-depleted state exacerbated GSH deficit in the plasma, muscle, and myocardium, without adequate GSH supply from the liver. Lipid peroxidation in the liver …

Localized Muscle Fatigue: Theoretical and Practical Aspects in Occupational Environments
… model parameters and their ability to predict endurance time in both prolonged and intermittent exertions. Sensitivity to inherent model parameters was quantified, which was relatively high in conditions involving lower to moderate levels of effort. Further assessments indicated substantial …

The effect of concurrent mental and physical fatigue on physical endurance performance, strength and muscle activity: a pilot study
… fatigue on upper limb neuromechanics and endurance performance, compared to just mental fatigue and physical fatigue elicited independently. Initial findings from this thesis provide initial support for concurrent mental and physical fatigue detrimentally affecting handgrip endurance and …

Comparative effects of calcium channel antagonism and beta-1 selective blockade on exercise performance in physically active hypertensive patients
… of these agents on prolonged submaximal exercise endurance have not been well studied. The object of this thesis was to compare the effects of isradipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, to those of atenolol, a β₁-selective antagonist, on maximal and submaximal exercise performance …
