background: fatigue can cause a significant effect on the mechanics of complex motor skills and reduce physical and mental efficiency. one of the common ways to reduce fatigue is passive recovering or using massage and cryotherapy after exercise. the present study aimed to compare the effects of massage and cryotherapy on muscles fatigue and isokinetic parameters. methods: this study was conduc...

The fatigue cracks are observed in asphalt surfaces much more than ruts. This paper deals with the influence of carbon nano-tube on the fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. These samples are made up of the slabs cut by the asphalt cutting saw. Fatigue beams contain 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5 percent of Carbon Nano-tube. The fatigue experiment was conducted using a 4-point semi-sinusoidal loadi...

conclusions the present study showed the beneficial effects of nutritional training on fatigue and adl in patients with ms. therefore, nurses and dietitians should regularly assess the patients’ dietary pattern and train them and their families about appropriate diet. methods this quasi-experimental one group, pretest and posttest study was performed on 40 patients with ms, who were convenientl...

background: previous studies have shown detrimental effects of muscle fatigue on balance. also they have reported the effects of kinesio taping (kt) on postural control, joint support, and muscle function. however, no studies have been conducted so far to assess the immediate effects of kt after local muscle fatigue on balance. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether kt improv...

because of inhomogeneity and anisotropy of composite materials, defining a unique fatigue criterion to be suitable for different loading conditions is much more difficult in comparison with traditional materials. for this reason many tests on evaluating the damages such as crack density, stiffness reduction and residual strength are used by various researchers to monitor the fatigue process. in...

in this article, failure and fracture mechanisms in an aluminum alloy (which has been used in diesel internal combustion engines), with and without ceramic thermal barrier coatings, have been investigated under isothermal and non-isothermal fatigue loadings. in this research, the base material is an aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy and the thermal barrier coating includes a metallic bond coat l...

introduction: repetitive strain injuries are one of the most prevalent problems in occupational diseases. repetition, vibration and bad postures of the extremities are physical risk factors related to work that can cause chronic musculoskeletal disorders. repetitive work on a computer with low level contraction requires the posture to be maintained for a long time, which can cause muscle fatigu...
