An Indirect Approach to Analyze the Impact of Working Environment Restrictions Due To COVID 19 on Muscle Fatigue and Strength

The current research work seeks to analyze the changes in the muscle fatigue and strength, if any, due to the restrictions of use of facial mask while at work. The workers are required to perform tasks like lifting and pushing which range from moderate to heavy workloads. Alternative approach had to be used as the shop floor environment did not facilitate the use of standard laboratory setup for measurement of muscle fatigue. © IEOM Society International.
