Required force level and isometric tracking
… I with force levels scaled to the isometric maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of elbow extension for each subject. It was hypothesized that higher frequencies of forcing function (5 levels) and higher required force levels (5 levels) would result in degraded tracking performance. The …

Magnetic resonance elastography studies of human skeletal muscle
… volunteers to study natural phenomena such as contraction and ageing and interventions such as an experimental protocol to produce Exercise Induced Muscle Damage (EIMD). Methodological advances made throughout this work include moving from 2D to 3D MRE data acquisition protocols and the …

Age differences on the pattern of blood pressure response to isometric exercise in normotensive males.
… (pressor) response to isometric handgrip contractions between older and younger males with and without blood occlusion. Ten older males (mean age 54.7 +/- 3.0 yrs) and ten younger males (mean age 26.6 +/- 1.9 yrs) normotensive at rest and dynamic exercise participated in this study. …

Investigation of differences in cortical activation during wrist flexion and extension performed under real, passive and motor imagined paradigms
… motor imaginary, passively moved, and voluntary real active movements. Real movements were conducted at 10% relative subject maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). A servo controlled hand device was used to regulate dynamic force applied for real movements, and provide motion during …

Workforce fatigue prediction via wearable sensor data analytics
… models and four different methods of obtaining maximum torque (〖Torque〗_max), an input which indicates the maximum strength of the individual, were compared. This included regression models that predicted 〖Torque〗_max based on individual factors developed in the present work (R2≈.6, P<.05). …

Effects of Tool Weight on Fatigue and Performance During Short Cycle Overhead Work Operations
… including total task duration, controlled maximum muscle contractions, subjective ratings based on Borg's CR-10 RPE scale, electromyogram behavior (MdPF), and hand force performance measures. Experimental findings indicated that duty cycle (percentage of total task cycle time spent working) …
