Abstract

To research the relationship between fatigue of shoulder, waist, back, and whole body, load carriage simulation experiments were carried out. The relationship between fatigue of whole body and heart rate changes was also studied. The results showed the following: (1) The slopes of the fatigue curve of whole body and shoulder were consistent. The fatigue of shoulder was an important factor to whole body fatigue. (2) At the beginning period of experiment, heart rate increased significantly. However, when fatigue achieved moderate levels, heart rate increased slowly. (3) When the subjects reached fatigue limit, the experiments were stopped, and the heart rate maintained at 130–140 bpm, which consistent with the provisions of GJB1136-92.
