The autonomic nervous system (ANS) and cardiovascular function are intricately and closely
related. One of the most frequently used diagnostic and prognostic tools for evaluating …

The time constant (T) obtained by fitting post-exercise heart rate (HR) recovery to a first order
exponential decay curve has been promoted as an index of parasympathetic activity …

Hood VL, Granat MH, Maxwell DJ, Hasler JP. A new method of using heart rate to represent
energy expenditure: the Total Heart Beat Index. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2002; 83: 1266-73 …

Safe exercise protocols are critical for effective rehabilitation programs. This paper aims to
develop a novel control strategy for an automated treadmill system to reduce the danger of …

Heart rate is one of the major indications of human cardiovascular response to exercises.
This study investigates human heart rate response dynamics to moderate exercise. A …

The objective of this study was to establish the best prediction for endurance time of combat
soldiers marching with extremely heavy loads. It was hypothesized that loads relative to …

The alarming number of adverse medical events and associated costs have placed
immense importance toward the safety and health of both patients and medical personnel. A …

We developed a multi-muscle fatigue model (MMFM) by incorporating electromyography
(EMG)-based amplitude and frequency parameters, the fast-to-slow twitch muscle fiber ratio …

Cycling on an ergometer is one effective means of measuring cardiovascular function while
applying stress on the heart. Bathing in a hot water bath applies a low stress to the heart …

In order to accurately regulate cardiovascular response to exercise for individual exerciser,
this study proposes a modelling and control integrated approach based on є-insensitive …
