Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, Volume 69, Issue 1, Page 617-621, September 2025.
This study investigates how helmet properties—mass and center of mass (COM)—influence neck muscle fatigue to support the biomechanical design of firefighter helmets. Thirty-six firefighters (18 males, 18 females) performed sustained neck flexion and ...
