Fatigue01:21

Fatigue

213
Fatigue occurs when materials rupture under repeated or fluctuating loads, even at stress levels far below their static breaking strength. It typically results in brittle failure, even for ductile materials. It is a critical consideration in designing machines and structural components subjected to repetitive or varying loads. The nature of these loadings can range from fluctuating loads like unbalanced pump impellers causing vibrations to repeatedly bending a thin steel rod wire back and forth...

Muscle Recovery and Fatigue01:24

Muscle Recovery and Fatigue

2.2K
Muscle fatigue refers to the decline in a muscle's ability to maintain the force of contraction after prolonged activity. It primarily stems from changes within muscle fibers. Even before experiencing muscle fatigue, one may feel tired and have the urge to stop the activity. This response, known as central fatigue, occurs due to changes in the central nervous system, namely the brain and spinal cord. While there is no single mechanism that induces fatigue, it may serve as a protective...

Fatigue Strength of Concrete01:22

Fatigue Strength of Concrete

223
Fatigue, in the context of materials science and engineering, refers to the weakening or failure of a material caused by repeatedly applied loads, even if these loads are below the strength limit of the material. Fatigue strength in concrete is a critical property that influences its durability and longevity. Concrete can fail in two ways due to fatigue. Static fatigue or creep rupture occurs under a constant load or one that increases slowly. The other failure mode is due to cyclical or...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.1K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.4K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

32.0K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy
  • Rehabilitation science
  • Clinical research

Background:

  • Fatigue is a disabling symptom impacting daily life across acute and chronic conditions.
  • Occupational practitioners historically managed fatigue through interventions.
  • There is a need for advanced research in fatigue management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To convene experts to develop collaborative research ideas for fatigue management.
  • To advance the understanding and treatment of fatigue.
  • To foster interdisciplinary collaboration in fatigue research.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-day virtual workshop was convened by the American Occupational Therapy Foundation.
  • Participants included experts in fatigue from occupational therapy and other disciplines.
  • Discussions focused on key research areas: implementation science, treatment taxonomy, trial design, and phenotyping.

Main Results:

  • Four key research topics emerged: implementation science, treatment taxonomy, trial design and comparative effectiveness, and phenotyping.
  • Collaborative research ideas and proposals were developed.
  • Proceedings, discussions, and recommendations from the workshop were summarized.

Conclusions:
