Oxygen uptake and muscle activity limitations during stepping on a stair machine at three different climbing speeds

A Halder, C Gao, M Miller, K Kuklane - Ergonomics, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
This laboratory study examined human stair ascending capacity and constraining factors
including legs' local muscle fatigue (LMF) and cardiorespiratory capacity. Twenty-five …

A model to estimate vertical speed of ascending evacuation from maximal work capacity data

K Kuklane, A Halder - Safety science, 2016 - Elsevier
This paper describes the development of an ascending evacuation model based on physical
work capacity of a selected sample. The model is based on the combination of several field …

The impact of carrying load on physical performance during ascending evacuation movement

A Velasco, A Halder, K Kuklane, E Ronchi - Fire and materials, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
This study investigates how ascending movement is affected by carrying load during a stair‐
climbing motion. The methods adopted are based on exercise physiology and fire safety …
