Abstract

10 men, aged 18 to 35, rode a bicycle ergometer. Records were taken on blood pressure, CO 2 tension in the blood, blood sugar, basal metabolism, hemoglobin, urinalysis, and electrocardiograms, before and after fatigue. Of these measures the authors hold that blood pressure curves, pH of blood, and metabolism "seem to offer reliable quantitative measures of fatigue." Increase in leucocyte count is a "fairly constant" accompaniment of "severe muscular fatigue." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
