OBJECTIVE: To analyze the behavior of blood pressure and heart rate in elderly people practicing physical exercises in Maringá, Paraná, Brazil. METHODS: 70 elderly volunteers were evaluated, 41 women and 29 men, with a mean age of 67.2 ± 6....

Effects of compression running pants and treadmill running stages on knee proprioception and fatigue-related physiological responses in half-marathon runners

Background: Knee injury is common in half-marathon runners, however, the effect of compression running pants on fatigue and knee proprioception remains unclear.Objectives: The study aims to investigate whether wearing compression running pa...

On-the-Fly Sleep Scoring Algorithm with Heart Rate, RR Intervals and Accelerometer as Input

In many applications, recognizing the depth of sleep (e.g., light, deep, REM sleep) while the subject is sleeping enables innovative features. For instance, in SAE Level 4 autonomous driving, a driver may need to takeover the vehicle contro...

DEVELOPING AN APPROACH TO MULTIMODAL QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF INTERVIEWERS’ COGNITIVE LOAD: FIRST RESULTS OF A FIELD QUASI EXPERIMENT

The belief that survey research instruments mediating communication between interviewer and respondent influence the quality of data obtained in the interview has become a conventional methodological wisdom long ago. However, the impact of ...

Stress Levels Escalate When Repeatedly Performing Tasks Involving Threats

Police work may include performing repeated tasks under the influence of psychological stress, which can affect perceptual, cognitive and motor performance. However, it is largely unknown how repeatedly performing stressful tasks physically...

Effects of Interval Training Under Hypoxia on Hematological Parameters, Hemodynamic Function, and Endurance Exercise Performance in Amateur Female Runners in Korea

Interval training under hypoxia (IHT) is commonly used to enhance endurance exercise performance. However, previous studies examining hematologic changes related to the immune system that affect health and conditioning are lacking. This stu...

The Cardiorespiratory Network in Healthy First-Degree Relatives of Schizophrenic Patients

Impaired heart rate- and respiratory regulatory processes as a sign of an autonomic dysfunction seems to be obviously present in patients suffering from schizophrenia. Since the linear and non-linear couplings within the cardiorespiratory s...

Types of Skin Afferent Fibers and Spinal Opioid Receptors that Contribute to Touch-Induced Inhibition of Heart Rate Changes Evoked by Noxious Cutaneous Heat Stimulation

Background In anesthetized rats and conscious humans, a gentle touch using a soft disc covered with microcones (with a texture similar to that of a finger), but not with a flat disc, inhibits nociceptive somatocardiac reflexes. Such an inhi...

Explore the effects of forest travel activities on university students’ stress affection

This study aims to explore the effects of forest travel activities on university students’ stress affection. Forty volunteer university students participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete physiological (Heart Rate V...

The Mathematics of Marriage

Divorce rates are at an all-time high. But without a theoretical understanding of the processes related to marital stability and dissolution, it is difficult to design and evaluate new marriage interventions. The Mathematics of Marriage pro...

Health technology innovations

The global pandemic has drastically impacted older adults in numerous ways (e.g., loneliness; age discrimination; mental and physical health; limited access to traditional health care).On the other hand, it may have accelerated the general ...

Development of a Scoring System to Predict the Treatment Success for Nonoperative Management of Peptic Ulcer Perforation: A Secondary Data Analysis of PPAP Study

ABSTRACT Background Although surgical treatment is the primary measure for patients with perforated peptic ulcer (PPU), nonoperative management (NOM) has become a common alternative. However, risk score models predicting the success of NOM ...

Physical Activity and Public Health

In 1995 the American College of Sports Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published national guidelines on Physical Activity and Public Health.The Committee on Exercise and Cardiac Rehabilitation of the American Hea...

Diminished Auditory Responses during NREM Sleep Correlate with the Hierarchy of Language Processing.

Natural sleep provides a powerful model system for studying the neuronal correlates of awareness and state changes in the human brain. To quantitatively map the nature of sleep-induced modulations in sensory responses we presented participa...

Heart Disease Detection using ML and ES (Smart Wearable Health Monitoring System)
