Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- force [Each session will take approximately 2-3 hours (total of 4 test sessions)]
Change in force of the arm muscles will be evaluated with a custom made device during each test session
- anxiety levels [Each session will take approximately 2-3 hours (total of 4 test sessions]
changes in anxiety levels quantified with a questionnaire
- arterial pressure [Each session will take approximately 2-3 hours (total of 4 test sessions]
changes in arterial pressure will be quantified with a non-invasive device (finometer)
- fatigue [Each session will take approximately 2-3 hours (total of 4 test sessions]
changes in fatigue will be assessed with questionnaires
