Abstract

This paper reports on the oxygen uptake in seated volunteers subjected to 5 Hz sinusoidal vibration at 2ms⁻², axial rotation alone and axial rotation in combination with vibration. Compared to non-vibrated, non-twisted tests, the axial rotation and vibration exposure increased the oxygen uptake by 32%.
