Title Reaction of the cardiovascular system, TTS and sensations during local dynamic muscular work and noise
Original title Reaktion des Herzkreislaufsystems, TTS und Befindlichkeit bei lokaler dynamischer Muskelarbeit unter Lärmeinwirkung [in German]
Bibliographic information July 1988, Vol.34, No.7, p.415-417. Illus.
Abstract Ten male and ten female subjects aged 30 to 39 years were exposed to noise of 90dB(A) without muscular work and to noise (90 dB(A)) combined with one-hand work. The reactions of the cardiovascular system were higher during the combined exposure (noise and one-hand work) than during comparable local muscular work without noise. There were also differences in changes of cardiovascular parameters and temporary threshold shift of hearing (TTS) in men and women. The noise sensitivity index seems to reflect physical changes in the body during and after acute noise exposure.
