Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of low temperature and low pressure on grip strength and fatigue when wearing extravehicular activity (EVA) gloves. Methods: 10 healthy male participants were asked to wear gloves in various simulated environments and complete the maximum grip strength and fatigue tests. Results: Pressure (29.6, 39.2 kPa) affected the maximum grip strength more significantly compared with control group. However, the effect of low temperatures (50, 90, 110 °C) on the grip strength was not significant, but the low temperatures affected fatigue greatly. The results in this study also demonstrated that compound environment significantly affect the maximum grip strength and fatigue. Conclusions: The strength and endurance of the astronauts were significantly decreased in space environment. However, the effect of the mixed environment could not be understood as the superimposition of a single factor(low temperature and pressure).
