Abstract

Human fatigue is a complex phenomenon resulting from various factors in modern industries. At present, very few studies discuss on the relation of muscle and mental fatigue particularly in industries. This paper investigates and discusses on the relation between muscle and mental fatigue based on empirical past studies. The findings indicated that there is a relation between muscle and mental activity which direct to fatigue. What is lacking at present is the methodology to assess quantitatively on the relation of muscle and mental fatigue in the industry. Therefore, for future research, development of a quantitative model in predicting time to muscle and mental fatigue is proposed.
