Forest bathing (FB) has evidenced positive effects on individuals' mental health and well-being, but its benefits have mainly been studied in Asian biomes. The present study aimed to evaluate whether are also generalisable other forests biomes of the world, such as Mediterranean. Eighty-six healthy adults general population were assessed before after a FB near Barcelona (Spain) during COVID-19 pandemic. A control-hiking group participants was analysed contrast anxiety, affect, mood states...
Objetivo Analizar los efectos de la estabilidad contractual profesores universitarios en las dimensiones psicosociales satisfacción, salud y estrés.Método Estudio descriptivo cuasi-experimental, tomando como muestra a 145 siete universidades públicas catalanas. El estudio se realizó durante el mes abril 2014. Se utilizó base cuestionario ISTAS21, versión media, lengua castellana, del Cuestionario Psicosocial Copenhaguen. De 21 escalas incluidas, sólo han tenido cuenta relacionadas con...
The practice of Shinrin-Yoku or Forest Bathing is an outdoor therapeutic modality with mounting evidence suggesting positive effects on individuals' psychological wellbeing and overall health. However, its benefits have mainly been studied in Asian biomes more research needed to evaluate if are also generalizable other regions such as European-Mediterranean forests. To preliminarily explore this issue, 16 healthy adults (87.5% women, mean age 47.5) were assessed before after a 3-hour session...
Our aim is to demonstrate the usefulness of photoplethysmography (PPG) for analyzing heart rate variability (HRV) using a standard 5-min test at rest with paced breathing, comparing results real RR intervals and testing supine sitting positions. Simultaneous recordings R–R were conducted Polar system non-contact PPG, based on facial video recording 20 individuals. Data analysis editing performed individually designated software each instrument. Agreement HRV parameters was assessed...
The present study was performed to compare R-R interval data and heart rate variability indices obtained from the Polar S810i Omega Wave Sport System for a total of 96 adults in supine position. Data were simultaneously recorded with processed by unique software. Bland-Altman analysis intervals shows minimal bias free paced breathing. No significant differences observed derived signal both devices, except power high frequency band acceleration changes index during either or Coefficients...
El objetivo del estudio es analizar los efectos agudos ejercicio físico sobre el estado de ánimo y la variabilidad frecuencia cardíaca (HRV), en personas activas sedentarias. Para ello participaron 30 estudiantes clasificados Activos No activos. En una sola sesión realizaban prueba esfuerzo submáximo (UKK), cumplimentando Perfil Estados Ánimo (POMS) realizando un test reposo HRV antes después ejercicio. Los resultados indican mejora ánimo, aumentando factores Vigor Fatiga disminuyendo...
As intensity and physical demands continue to rise in sport competition, faster better recovery becomes essential. The aim of this study was assess the effects HRV biofeedback (HRVB) while recovering from a submaximal aerobic exercise. Ten physically-active graduate students participated study, which conducted four sessions: exercise with free-breathing recovery, first resonance frequency (RF) detection, second RF applying HRVB during recovery. Measurements included time spent running...
Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRVB) is based on breathing at an optimal rate (or resonance frequency, RF) corresponding to the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Our aim check whether RF a stable factor and analyse HRV parameters individually per each rate, comparing it with free slow breathing. A sample of 21 participants were trained in test-retest HRVB protocol. The results indicated that changed between Test Retest sessions 66.7% participants. This instability could be related...
The aim of the study was to examine utility perceived tiredness predict cardiac autonomic response overload among field hockey players during 2006 World Cup. French Society for Sports Medicine (SFMS) questionnaire administered at start Cup evaluate perception tiredness. Autonomic function assessed nine days later semifinal match by time and frequency domain analysis heart rate variability. An anxiety so that effect precompetitive on variability could be controlled. Results showed a negative...
Abstract Wearables are being increasingly used to monitor heart rate (HR). However, their usefulness for analyzing continuous HR in research or at clinical level is questionable. The aim of this study analyze the agreement between different wearables measurement based on photoplethysmography, according body positions and physical activity levels, compared a gold-standard ECG. proposed method measures among several time scales since obtain sampling rates. Eighteen university students (10 men,...
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is an indicator of health status in the general population and adaptation to stress athletes. In this paper we compare performance two systems measure HRV: (1) A commercial system based on recording physiological cardiac signal with (2) computer vision that uses a standard video images face estimate RR from changes skin color face. We show performs surprisingly well. It estimates individual intervals non-invasive manner error levels comparable those achieved by system.
This work proposes a systematic procedure to report the differences between heart rate variability time series obtained from alternative measurements reporting spread and mean of as well agreement measuring procedures quantifying how stationary, random normal are. A description complete automatic obtain (DTS) two methods, proposal battery statistical tests, set indicators better describe in RR interval estimation are also provided. Results show that depend on choice DTS cannot be considered...
This paper presents a new family of indices for the frequency domain analysis heart rate variability time series that do not need any band definition. After proper detrending series, cumulated power spectrum is obtained and frequencies contain certain percentage below them are identified, so median frequency, bandwidth measure asymmetry proposed to complement or improve classical spectral as ratio powers LF HF bands (LF/HF). In normal conditions provides similar information indices, while...
