  1. 1. Exploring State-of-the-Art Machine Learning Methods for Quantifying Exercise-induced Muscle Fatigue

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Abboud Afram; Danial Sarab Fard Sabet; [2023]
    Keywords : EMG; SEMG; STFT; CWT; SVM; CNN; GAN; DCGAN; BCE; SGD; deep learning; machine learning; muscle fatigue; DCGAN; spectrogram; CNN models; transfers learning; data augmentation; feature extraction;

    Abstract : Muscle fatigue is a severe problem for elite athletes, and this is due to the long resting times, which can vary. Various mechanisms can cause muscle fatigue which signifies that the specific muscle has reached its maximum force and cannot continue the task. READ MORE

  3. 2. Periodic Inhalation of Carbon Monoxide Prior to Repeated Sprint Training – a Nuanced Way for Improving Repeated Sprint Ability

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Christoffer Sundqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : Endurance; Cycling; high-intensity interval training; Repeated sprint ability; Repeated sprint exercise; Carbon monoxide.;

    Abstract : Background: Repeated sprint training in hypoxia has shown to be superior to training in normoxia. However, both natural and simulated altitude training are strategies that are not always accessible and expensive due to traveling or the need for advanced equipment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of an intervention framework for design, implementation and adoption of occupational exoskeletons

    University essay from KTH/Ergonomi

    Author : Gennaro Alberico; [2022]
    Keywords : Industrial exoskeletons; key facilitators adoption barriers; intervention framework;

    Abstract : During the last few years, wearable technologies or body-worn assistive devices have become very popular within the occupational field. Among them, there are the so-called exoskeletons which have shown a promising potential in several areas ranging from medical care, military to, particularly during the last five years, industrial applications.

  5. 4. High density EMG based estimation of lower limb muscle characteristics using feature extraction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Balázs Szabó; [2021]
    Keywords : HD-EMG; feature extraction; lower limb; muscle characteristics;

    Abstract : Electromyography (EMG) is a common tool in electrical muscle activity measurement and can be used in multiple areas of clinical and biomedical applications, mainly in identifying neuromuscular diseases, analyzing movement or in human machine interfaces. Traditionally a pair of electrodes were used to measure the signals, but in recent years the use of high density surface EMG (HD-sEMG) gained more popularity as it can sample myoelectric activities from multiple electrodes in an array on a single muscle and provide more information.

  6. 5. A comparative study to explore the advantages of passive exoskeletons by monitoring the muscle activity of workers

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för elektroteknik, matematik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Md Arifur Rahman; [2021]
    Keywords : Exoskeletons; Shimmer Sensor; EMG Signal;

    Abstract : Manufacturing and construction workers undertake physically strenuous activities increasing the risk of health problems, disability, and sick leave, leading to lower job attractiveness and job candidate scarcity. In the EU, up to 44 million workers are affected by workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), representing a total annual cost of more than €240 billion. READ MORE
