Heat Stress Increases Movement Jerk During Physical Exertion

Objective: Movement efficiency can be quantified during physical tasks by measuring the rate of change of acceleration (jerk). Jerk captures the smoothness of a motion and has been used to quantify movement for upper extremity and torso-based tasks. We collected triaxial accelerometer data during fo...
