“…The second statistically significant relationship that officer tobacco use is related to being injured could mean that officers who use tobacco are also less likely to take care of their physical health as well as officers who do not use tobacco; officers who are more physically fit are less likely to experience an injury (Quinones, n.d.). Prior studies have also found nicotine in various tobacco products reduce one’s reaction time and decision making (Bates, Pellett, Stough, & Mangan, 1994; Vallath, Joshi, & Vaidya, 2015). Therefore, officers using tobacco products simply might not be able to contain the situation as quickly as their coworkers who do not use tobacco products.…”

Probation and parole research in the late 1980s and early 1990s explored the negative health and wellness effects that officers may experience. However, little current research exists on health and wellness outcomes for probation and parole officers. Furthermore, little research has been conducted on the factors that may predict health and wellness for probation and parole officers. This study provides survey results of 342 probation and parole officers working for one probation and parole department in a southern U.S. state. Binary logistic regression results reveal officer age and tobacco use are significant predictors of officer injury. Moreover, sex, alcohol use, fast food consumption, sleep, and feeling in control of one’s job are significant predictors of self-reported officer depression. Policy implications for the above-mentioned findings and future directions for research are also discussed.

“…Time taken by the subject to give a response is displayed with an accuracy of 1 ms and is recorded as his auditory or visual RT. [ 12 ] Auditory and visual RT was recorded in a well-ventilated and noise free room in the Department of Physiology. The procedure was explained to all the participants, and they were made familiar with the apparatus.…”

The present study was undertaken to provide scientific evidence and for beneficial effects of vestibular stimulation for the management of stress-induced changes in auditory and visual reaction time (RT). A total of 240 healthy college students of the age group of 18–24 of either gender were a part of this research after obtaining written consent from them. RT for right and left response was measured for two auditory stimuli (low and high pitch) and visual stimuli (red and green) were recorded. A significant decrease in the visual RT for green light and red light was observed and stress-induced changes was effectively prevented followed by vestibular stimulation. Auditory RT for high pitch right and left response was significantly decreased and stress-induced changes was effectively prevented followed by vestibular stimulation. Vestibular stimulation is effective in boosting auditory and visual RT and preventing stress-induced changes in RT in males and females. We recommend incorporation of vestibular stimulation by swinging in our lifestyle for improving cognitive functions.

Background: It was hypothesized that vestibular stimulation causes improvement in auditory and visual reaction time in young adults.Objective: The present study was undertaken to observe the effectiveness of 8 weeks of vestibular exercises on auditory and visual reaction time in young adults.Materials and methods: A total of 40 male and female young adults were part of the study after obtaining informed consent. They were grouped into control and intervention groups by random numbers generated by the software randomizer.org. Reaction time was recorded by the reaction time apparatus. Post-intervention values were recorded after 8 weeks of intervention and compared.Results: There was a significant improvement in the auditory and visual reaction times in young adults who followed by the intervention. Conclusion: The present study results suggest that vestibular exercises have a positive impact on reaction time. The study highlights the need for further detailed studies in this area.
