Scribani, Stefano Lewis Rauch, Laurie Medicine Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. BACKGROUND: A high level of stress can be detrimental to work performance and general health; in particular cardiovascular health. Work related stress has an effect on the autonomic nervous system and hence also can affect heart rate. By studying heart rate variability we can indirectly observe autonomic regulation in a convenient, non-invasive manner. Greater autonomic control and HRV are beneficial for managing work stress and could be beneficial for improving cardiovascular health particularly in an elderly population. HRV can be modified through changes in respiratory rate, and is enhanced greatly at slow breathing frequencies. OBJECTIVE: To establish meaningful relationships between physiological and psychological measures during a cognitive test; and to determine the effectiveness of short duration use of a beading system. The effects of age on autonomic regulation are also investigated. 2014-07-29T09:10:25Z 2014-07-29T09:10:25Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3461 eng application/pdf Department of Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
