  1. 1. Evaluation of physical work capacity and leg muscle fatigue during exhaustive stair ascending evacuation

    Författare :Amitava Halder; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :Stair climbing; Energy expenditure; Oxygen consumption; Electromyography; Muscle fatigue;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractPhysical exhaustion can constrain human ascending work capacity and performance during emergency evacuation on stairs. The overall aim of this research was to explore and compare stair ascending capacities and physiological limitations during two different strategies: self-preferred pace in three different public stairways in the field, and controlled pace in a laboratory on a stair machine.

    Sammanfattning : Physical exhaustion can constrain stair ascending capacity during emergency evacuation. The overall aim of this research was to explore and compare stair ascending capacities and physiological limitations when using two different modes: 1) self-preferred pace on three different public stairways, and 2) four machine-controlled paces on a stair machine corresponding to different percentages of maximal aerobic capacity (V̇O2max).
