Effects of stretching on muscle activation in gas cylinder handling

BACKGROUND:Previously, a stretching regimen was designed for manual material handling (MMH) of gas cylinders as a potential ergonomic solution for reducing occupational injury. No studies have made use of objective process measures, such as muscle activation levels, for evaluation of effects of str etching programs. OBJECTIVE:Examine acute effects of stretching on muscle activation levels and driver perceived level of exertion in gas cylinder...
