Environmental Ergonomics XII
Igor B. Mekjavic, Stelios N. Kounalakis & Nigel A.S. Taylor (Eds.), © BIOMED, Ljubljana 2007
The present study contributes to a new qualitative and quantitative description of the physical
and mental aspects of perceived fatigue. Five dimensions of fatigue have been proposed. To
assure the reliability and validity of the five dimensions, further experiments and studies are
in progress.
