Conditions of exposure to vibration used in the study (the different combinations of root mean square (rms) acceleration magnitude and duration of exposure to a vibration with a frequency of 125 Hz produce the same 8 hour energy equivalent frequency weighted acceleration magnitude as calculated by the international standard ISO 5349 (1986))
