The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knee-flexion angles on subjective discomfort ratings, heart rates, and muscle fatigue using median frequency (MDF) in a static-sustaining task. Thirty healthy participants maintained 13 postures including standing, squatting, sitting, and kneeling postures and then MDFs from the erector spinae, biceps femoris, vastus medialis, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles, subjective discomfort, and heart rates were collected every 3 min during a sustained 15 min task. Results showed that the discomfort, heart rate and muscle fatigue were significantly influenced by the body postures. In general, standing and sitting postures showed less discomfort as well as lower heart rates, whereas squatting postures (KF120, KF90, KF60) had higher discomfort and heart rates. Three MDF change trends were reported associated with postures in this study. First, there were less changes of MDFs for standing and sitting postures; second, all patterns of MDFs for KF 150 and KF120 decreased, and lastly some MDFs had increasing trends and others showed decreasing trends for KF30, KF30T, and kneeling postures. |
