Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to determine the influence of different forms of an audience's behavior on the heart work parameters and salivary cortisol level of leisure horses during work. Twelve horses were studied at rest, during standardized work, and at recovery. There was no audience in the arena in the control variant, whereas an audience (10 people) was situated in the middle of the arena in f ...

Abstract:
... Disconfirmations between consumers’ expectations and a product’s actual properties can lead to different responses in consumers. Most researchers study these responses focusing on the final judgement of the product. However, looking at consumers’ physiological responses like those of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) could help complement what is known about consumer reactions and final response ...

Abstract:
... The experience of social exclusion may provoke prosocial, avoidant, or antisocial (aggressive) behaviors. Multiple situational and personal factors seem to affect which course of action people adopt, and to which degree. The present study examined the relevance of the most spontaneous initiation of more passive, avoidant (disengagement) or action-oriented (engagement) coping immediately following ...

Abstract:
... The aims of this study were a) to examine within-group changes of wellness and heart rate variability measures and b) to compare their sensitivity to a congested match schedule in collegiate soccer players (n = 8). Wellness (Hooper index and its subsets) and heart rate variability (Ln rMSSD, SDNN) measures were assessed after selected low-load (training sessions) and high-load (a congested match s ...
heartrate, etc ; analytical methods; animal pathology; humans; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Cardiac murmurs were first described approximately 200 years ago. Subsequently, various clinicians, starting with Samuel Levine, have proposed grading schemes, depicting intensity, or other murmur characteristics, in an attempt to differentiate pathological and physiological murmurs or different degrees of pathology. In the 1960s, these schemes were adapted by veterinary cardiologists and have bee ...

Abstract:
... To determine agreement between invasive blood pressures measured in three peripheral arteries in anaesthetized horses undergoing elective surgery.Prospective balanced incomplete block design.A total of 18 client-owned horses.Invasive blood pressure (IBP) was measured simultaneously in one of the following three combinations: 1) transverse facial and facial artery; 2) transverse facial and metatars ...
... It is unclear whether the responses of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) can measure how people respond to food. Results focused on emotional responses are contradictory; therefore, the focus has shifted to other components of emotion, such as appraisals. The aim of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the differences in ANS responses related to appraisals; particularly taste novelty, valence, ...

Abstract:
... Various aspects of interoception are regarded as temporally stable phenomena. This study investigates the temporal stability of and longitudinal associations between interoceptive accuracy (as measured with heartbeat tracking task) and a related concept, body awareness (assessed by self-report).In a two-month longitudinal study 103 university students (31% male, 23.34±4.34yrs.; 44 Hungarians; 36.4 ...

Abstract:
... The aim of the present research was to compare the effects in swimming and running performance, horizontal jump test, autonomic modulation, and body composition of four training weeks with emphasis on volume versus intensity in moderate trained triathletes. Thirty-two amateur triathletes (20 males and 12 females) were randomly divided in three different groups that performed 6 training session per ...
... The aims of this study were 1) to assess the predictive role of coping related variables (CRV) on cardiac vagal activity (derived from heart rate variability), and 2) to investigate the influence of CRV (including cardiac vagal activity) on a dart throwing task under low pressure (LP) and high pressure (HP) conditions. Participants (n=51) completed trait CRV questionnaires: Decision Specific Reinv ...

Abstract:
... The effect of temperature and thermal stress on cardiac activity and hemodynamics of a temperate scallop species Chlamys farreri was revealed using Doppler echocardiography. The variation scope of eight hemodynamic parameters within the optimal temperature range (8–26 °C) was determined, including heart beat rate (HR), acceleration of blood flow (ABF), peak systolic velocity (PS), end diastolic ve ...

Abstract:
... The concept of coping style represents the way individual animals react to a stressful situation, both behaviourally and neurophysiologically. Over the last decades coping style has been linked to the development of research on animal personality. Based on this concept, we should find a proactive-reactive continuum in animal populations, with proactive individuals being fast explorer, bold, aggres ...
