Significant differences in peak power and relative peak power (lower body WAnT), as well as mean, relative mean power, and fatigue index (upper body WAnT), are mainly associated with different training loads implemented on particular instruments.

The peak torque and fatigue index of the hip flexors, hamstrings, squat jump, counter jump, heart rate, and blood pressure of the subjects were determined before and after 10 km of running under two different conditions: (a) without the use of Compression Stockings (WCS) and with the use of CS.

EMG Processing Based Measures of Fatigue Assessment during Manual Lifting

The results of this study revealed that (i) AR combined with SS exercise more effectively enhanced agility than did AR combined with DS exercise; (ii) AR combined with SS or DS more effectively increased flexibility than AR alone; (iii) AR combined with SS led to a reduction in relative average power, and relative maximum power, however no significant effect on minimum power was detected; (iv) the fatigue index was greater following "AR" and "AR combined with DS" than following "ARcombined with SS".
