AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how boot sole properties influence fatigue and examine the impacts of load carrying and walking on various physical responses.
- Findings showed that features like elasticity and shock absorption in boots significantly affect performance and comfort during prolonged walking and loading.
- The results offer valuable insights for designing clean room boots and optimizing job tasks that involve carrying loads in such environments.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of boot sole properties on reducing fatigue, to evaluate the effects of load carrying and walking (over a 1 h period) on biomechanical, physiological and psychophysical responses, and to investigate the correlations between the measurements. The results indicated that elasticity and shock absorption of the boot had significant effects on outcome variables. Significant load effects were seen in most measurements. All of the significant time period effects gave strong regressions, with no R2 value less than 0.983. The findings of this study provide useful information for the selection and design of clean room boots as well as for job design for load carrying tasks in the clean room environment.
