Nahar, Nazmun 2013. Effect of ageing and physical activity level on muscle fatigue during isometric contraction of knee extensor muscles. Master’s theses in Biomechanics. Department of Biology of Physical Activity, University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Muscle fatigue is defined as the loss of force or power producing capacity in response to contractile activity and is a fundamental characteristic o...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different rhythms of music on some central and peripheral fatigue indices in non-athlete young females. for this purpose, 38 healthy female students were randomly divided into three groups: fast music group or exp1 (n=13, m+sd age: 22+2 years), slow music group or exp2 (n=13, m+sd age: 23+2 years) and control group (n=12,m+sd age: 23+2 year...

The conventional French fatigue test has yielded significantly different results for two asphalt materials with the same grade of pure asphalt. A research program was begun to study the influence of the asphalt nature on the fatigue behavior of asphalt materials. The program included full-scale experimentation on the circular test track of the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussees, laborat...

Fatigue is a notable clinical problem in cancer survivors, and understanding its pathophysiology is important. This study evaluated relationships between fatigue and both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity in breast cancer survivors. Norepinephrine and heart rate variability (HRV) were evaluated at rest, as well as during and after a standardized laboratory speech and menta...

Fatigue cracking is an essential problem of asphalt concrete that contributes to pavement damage. Although stone matrix asphalt (SMA) has significantly provided resistance to rutting failure, its resistance to fatigue failure is yet to be fully addressed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of crumb rubber modifier (CRM) on stiffness and fatigue properties of SMA mixtures at optimum...

Asphalt modification/reinforcement has received considerable attention as viable solutions to enhance flexible pavement performance. This is mainly prompted by the unsatisfactory performance of traditional road materials exposed to dramatic increases and changes in traffic patterns. This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue behaviour of nano reinforced Stone Mastic Asphalt mixtures. Fatigue...
