“…Therefore stress-related impairment may be a function of failure to match effort with workload rather than with resource insufficiency. The driver stress inventory (DSI) (80) has been used to show that more severe stress reactions may disrupt driver performance and reduce safety (23).…”

Key Words driver, occupational health, exercise, health promotion, stress management ■ Abstract Strategies to achieve ambitious targets for reducing road accidents (34) have largely focused on engineering and technological advancements, the modification of occupational demands, and, to a lesser extent, human factors. These factors include stress and psychological states; sleep, fatigue, and alertness; and health status. Physical activity appears to influence all these human factors but has not previously been systematically considered as a direct or indirect risk factor for driver accidents. This chapter provides an overview, within an evidence-based framework, of the impact each of these human factors has on driver performance and risk of at-work road traffic accidents and then examines how physical (in)activity may moderate and mediate these relationships. Finally, we consider practical implications for work site interventions. The review aims to offer an evidence base for the deployment of resources to promote physical activity, manage stress, facilitate sleep, reduce fatigue, and enhance alertness to improve physical and psychological health among professional drivers.

A survey was conducted on a sample of 159 Australian bus drivers to determine the extent to which workload and self-reported driver coping styles predicted their subjective health status. The model that was proposed incorporated the hours spent driving as a measure of workload, both adaptive and maladaptive driver coping styles, and self-report measures of need for recovery (i.e., fatigue), positive and negative affect, and physical symptoms. Results of hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the workload was a significant predictor of drivers' need for recovery but not of their positive and negative affect nor of their physical symptoms. Need for recovery was in turn a significant predictor of positive and negative affect and of their physical symptoms indicating that it mediates the influence of workload on positive and negative affect and physical symptoms. Two maladaptive coping strategies added to the prediction of need for recovery, as well as to the prediction of negative affect, even after controlling for the influence of need for recovery. One adaptive coping strategy added to the prediction of positive affect. Strategies for management of fatigue in bus drivers should focus on the assessment and remediation of maladaptive coping strategies which impact of drivers' need for recovery which in turn predicts positive and negative affect and physical symptoms.

Consequently, the effect of the physiological state of the user on the gaming performance has been explored by numerous researchers such as [24], [25], and [26].…”

Abstract-Home-based rehabilitation has evolved in recent years as a cost-effective and convenient alternative to traditional clinical rehabilitation. This has consequently created the need to design reliable assessment and adaptation mechanisms that are able to measure and analyze the patient's performance and to accordingly make proper adjustments that conform to the abilities of the patient during the training. This paper proposes a novel Context-based Adaptive Home-based Rehabilitation (CAHR) framework to optimize recovery based on patient's performance and ambient conditions. Adaptation is mathematically modeled to configure the rehabilitation task based on user's psychophysiological and environmental conditions. A prototype of the framework is tested for three weeks by two patients with wrist deficiencies. The results obtained are promising and indicate that the proposed framework may be very beneficial for home-based rehabilitation.
