There is little information available regarding how proprioceptive abilities decline as the amount of exertion increases during exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of different levels of fatigue on knee joint position sense. A repeated measures design was used to examine changes in active joint reposition sense (AJRS) prior to and following three levels of fatigue. Eig...

Fatigue is an important contributor to poor quality of life. The aim of our research was to identify factors associated with fatigue among patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The sample consisted of 150 patients. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Charlson co-morbidity index were us...

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...
