Maximal oxygen uptake during cycling is reduced in moving environments; consequences for motion-induced fatigue / A.H. Wertheim, H.C.G. Kemper, R. Reus

In previous studies on physical fatigue during simulated ship movements, the apparent exhaustion of subjects after experimentation suggested that the traditional index of physical workload, oxygen consumption measured in a separate graded exercise test, underestimates workload in a moving environment. This paper reports on three experimental tests of this hypothesis, performed with a ship motion simulator and aboard a ship at sea
