Abstract:
Indicating the muscle effort degree is useful to determine sensible loading of the muscle and obtain objective estimation of muscle fatigue. In this paper an effort meter for indicating the applied effort from the loading muscle is proposed and described. The developed effort meter consists of strain gauge – sensor element to detect the applied effort, amplification circuit and indicating circuit. The apparatus is easy to realize and with low cost. The designed device can be used for investigation of muscle fatigue for example in the fitness centers.
