Obiettivo di questa tesi è la determinazione e quantificazione degli effetti della whole-body vibration al corpo umano, in termini di consumo energetico, tramite un approccio globale e integrato. L’obiettivo è ottenuto considerando il corpo umano come una struttura organica complessa. Allo scopo di comprendere come questo risponda alle vibrazioni verticali, il consumo energetico del corpo umano è stato misurato per mezzo della variazione della temperatura superficiale con tecniche di misurazione a termografia infrarossa.

Abstract:
Whole body vibration (WBV) delivers a stimulus to the body via an oscillating platform and remains a relatively new area of research. Several applications of WBV stimuli have been developed as strength training and rehabilitation modalities, but inconsistent results have been published. There is little knowledge underpinning the mechanisms to explain the elicited neuromuscular responses to WBV and a wide range of WBV parameters across the literature. As a result, safe and effective protocols are yet to be established or validated. The aim of this current research was to investigate: the electr

When the human body is exposed to mechanical vibration, the resonance frequencies of the frequency response functions, such as apparent mass and transmissibility, decrease with increasing magnitude of excitation. For the past two decades, this biodynamic ‘nonlinearity’ has been reported with vertical and horizontal excitation of the body in a wide variety of static sitting and standing postures that require activity from muscles to maintain the stability of the body. There has been speculation, but no experimental evidence, as to the mechanism causing the non-linearity. A review of the literat

Abstract:
Musculoskeletal disorders are common among professional driver groups. Ergonomic risk factors at work are often suggested as causative, aggravating or preserving. The general aim with this thesis is to investigate the association between musculoskeletal disorders and physical exposure with special with special focus on whole-body vibration (WBV), among professional drivers of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Drivers of ATVs are expsosed to high magnitudes of WBV and shock. This thesis included drivers of forest machines, snowgroomers and snowmobiles. A cross-sectional study revealed that ATV drive

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of whole body vibration training on selected health and fitness parameters, including: blood glucose levels, blood pressure, anthropometric profile, muscular flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and aerobic endurance of persons with diabetes mellitus type II. The study was conducted in a descriptive, explorative manner utilizing a quasiexperimental design with an equistatic approach, employing match-pair design to participant grouping. The experimental design was a non-randomized two-group pre- and post-test design, in which appr

Thesis (MScEng (Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.<br>In this document the reduced order simulation and optimisation of the passive suspension systems of a locally produced forty ton articulated dump truck is discussed. The linearization of the suspension parameters were validated using two and three dimensional MATLAB models. A 24 degree-of-freedom, three dimensional ADAMS/VIEW model with linear parameters was developed and compared to measured data as well as with simulation results from a more complex 50 degree-of-freedom non-linear ADAMS/CAR m

Abstract:
Decompression sickness (DCS) is a risk associated with high-altitude aviation and diving. During these activities, decompression may lead to supersaturation of inert gas dissolved in bodily tissues and subsequently activate bubble formation in various bodily tissues, including in venous blood, known as venous gas emboli (VGE). It has been shown that the amount of VGE detected during and after decompression is linked to the risk of developing DCS. Thus, lowering the incidence of VGE would lower the risk of developing DCS. Previous studies have demonstrated that a session of whole-body vibration
