Fatigue and Exhaustion

Ecological momentary assessment of fatigue, sleepiness, and exhaustion in ESKD

BACKGROUND Many patients on maintenance dialysis experience significant sleepiness and fatigue. However, the influence of the hemodialysis (HD) day and circadian rhythms on patients' symptoms have not been well characterized. We sought to use ecological momentary assessment to evaluate day-to-day and diurnal variability of fatigue, sleepiness, exhaustion and related symptoms in thrice-weekly ma...

Muscle fatigue and exhaustion during dynamic leg exercise in normoxia and hypobaric hypoxia.

Using an exercise device that integrates maximal voluntary static contraction (MVC) of knee extensor muscles with dynamic knee extension, we compared progressive muscle fatigue, i.e., rate of decline in force-generating capacity, in normoxia (758 Torr) and hypobaric hypoxia (464 Torr). Eight healthy men performed exhaustive constant work rate knee extension (21 +/- 3 W, 79 +/- 2 and 87 +/- 2% o...

Power reserve following ramp-incremental cycling to exhaustion: Implications for muscle fatigue and function

Tiredness, fatigue, and exhaustion in the context of a major depressive disorder.

Framed in a multimethod design using ethnoscience and grounded theory, the purpose of this study was to characterize the attributes of tiredness, fatigue, and exhaustion, and to explore their influences on illness experiences in individuals with major depressive disorder. Two domains, mind (attributes: cognitive function, sleep quality, emotional reactivity, social interaction) and body (attrib...
