“…The acquired results correspond to the many of literature data about the fact that the heart rate variability parameters as well as the results of their mathematical processing are reliable and informative indices for the assessment of the regulatory systems state, adaptive abilities and susceptibility to the stress influences (Antonio Luque-Casado, 2013;Luft, 2009). The investigations in this sphere have been conducting for a long time using different, constantly improving methods (Lombardi & Mortara, 1998;Ravenswaaij et al, 1993;Berntson et al, 1997, Berger et al, 1986.…”

The educational process in the higher educational establishments should contribute to the formation of the independent, initiative, creative and healthy personality. However, some students have different functional disturbances during the education, their health can worsen. The aim of this investigation is the express assessment of the regulatory body systems conditions of the students of different year in Vladimir State University and revealing of the risk group of students, who are exposed to the adaptive processes disorders, basing on the heart rate variability analysis. The students of different specializations at the age of 17 to 22 from Vladimir State University were examined. Total amount was 200 people, among which there were: 100 girls and 100 boys. Software and hardware complex "Zdorovie-express" was used; there were determined heart rate variability values, which were used to calculate the complex index of the regulatory body systems activity as well as to assess general cardiac output using the indices of the heart rate, pulse and cardiac muscle. The conducted investigations show high effectiveness of use of regulatory body systems activity index for the express assessment of the students' adaptive abilities and revealing risk groups. The acquired results speak for the fact that the load, suffered by the students in the process of education in the university, is a sufficient stressor and can result in the significant strain of the regulatory body systems for the most part of students (67%) and 14% of students are in the risk group which is characterised by the overstrain of the regulatory body systems and different stages of adaptation failure. Aggravation of the adaptation mechanism was noted by the 4th year of study. These results can be used for optimization of the educational process in the higher educational establishments as well as for the organization of the preventive works among students, correct organization of the sanitary measures.

“…Indeed, both the neurovisceral integration model (Thayer & Lane, 2000) and Porges’ Polyvagal theory (Porges, 1992) suggest that strong PNS activity at rest provides increased flexibility to rapidly adjust parasympathetic influence on the autonomic nervous system as called for by task demands (i.e., to effectively deploy attentional engagement or disengagement). Sustained attention has been associated with PNS withdrawal and SNS activation, as well as task performance in tests of attention and working memory (Backs & Seljos, 1994; Hansen, Johnsen, Sollers, Stenvik & Thayer, 2004; Duschek, Muckenthaler, Werner, & Reyes del Paso, 2009; Luft, Takase, & Darby, 2009; Hansen, Johnsen & Thayer 2003). Therefore, it is possible that tasks involving sustained effort or focused attention elicit larger normative reductions in CAB, and therefore more readily distinguish proband and control cases.…”

Cardiac autonomic balance (CAB) indexes the ratio of parasympathetic to sympathetic activation (Berntson, Norman, Hawkley, & Cacioppo, 2008), and is believed to reflect overall autonomic flexibility in the face of environmental challenges. However, CAB has not been examined in depression. We examined changes in CAB and other physiological variables in 179 youth with a history of juvenile onset depression (JOD) and 161 healthy controls, in response to two psychological (unsolvable puzzle, sad film) and two physical (handgrip, and forehead cold pressor) challenges. In repeated measures analyses, controls showed expected reductions in CAB for both the handgrip and unsolvable puzzle, reflecting a shift to sympathetic relative to parasympathetic activation. By contrast, JOD youth showed increased CAB from baseline for both tasks (ps<.05). No effects were found for the forehead cold pressor or sad film tasks, suggesting that CAB differences may arise under conditions requiring greater attentional control or sustained effort.

“…28 Track and field athletes were tested on a variety of executive and non-executive tasks to determine the effects of exercise on executive function, which was tested via the shifting attention test in the present study. 29 Interestingly, Stroop reaction time was the only reaction time test measured by the Stroop test that demonstrated improvements, though it is the most complex. Stroop reaction time measures the responses in the third part of the Stroop test, where a response must be given when the color of the word does not match the word written.…”

CitationPast studies have demonstrated cognitive impairment after dehydration, though results are not always consistent. Methodological differences may account for these discrepancies. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of mild dehydration on various domains of cognitive function. Methods: Twenty-seven men (n=14; 26.9±4.6 years; 176.3±6.6 cm; 79.1±9.0 kg) and women (n=13; 27.3±4.3 years; 171.0±6.5 cm; 66.5±4.5 kg) participated in the study. Subjects were dehydrated to approximately 2% body mass loss via treadmill running and sauna. Measurements were collected prior to and after dehydration. Cognitive function tests included: Finger tapping, symbol digit coding, Stroop, and shifting attention tests.
