Objectives-To review occupational health, laboratory, and sports literature on neuroendocrine reactivity and recovery from mental, combined mental and physical, or physical tasks. Methods-A systematic literature search was performed in eight databases. Studies with catecholamines or cortisol as eVect variables measured in blood, urine, or saliva were included. Results-After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 77 studies from the initial 559 identified were taken into account. In occupational settings it was found that relatively few studies were conclusive about recovery, which formed a contrast with sports research. For reactivity and recovery up to 1 hour after performing the task, half of the studies considered physical tasks and more than two thirds showed incomplete recovery compared with baseline excretion of catecholamines and cortisol. Recovery extending to 3 days after the task was performed was often incomplete for cortisol after combined mentally and physically demanding tasks, and less often after solely mental or physical tasks. This type of recovery was more often incomplete for adrenaline (epinephrine) than for noradrenaline (norepinephrine), which was the case after mental as well as combined mental and physical tasks. Conclusions-The results from laboratory and sports research may be transferable to some occupations, but more research is needed on the course of recovery relative to health eVects in occupational settings.

Abstract:This study measured multiple physiological parameters of mental fatigue induced by the simulated driving task. The subjects' mannerisms and driving performance reveal that the driving mental fatigue is induced after long-term simulated driving. The wavelet packet energy (WPE) of EEG were used to extract the features of brain activity in the normal and the mental fatigue states, then random forests (RF) was employed to select key features for differentiating the two states. The experimental results show that the WPE of EEG and the amplitude of P300 are strongly related with driving mental fatigue. The power spectral indices of heart rate variability (HRV) indicate that the sympathetic nervous system may play a leading role and the parasympathetic nervous system is retrained at the end of driving task. Furthermore, RF method can select features effectively, reduce the dimensionality of the feature vectors significantly, and then achieve a recognition accuracy of 97%. The WPE-RF method could be a potential way of assessment of driving mental fatigue.

“…Only a handful of efforts to address these health risks have been documented [Chenoweth, 1990;Belkic et al, 1994;Hartley et al, 1994;Holmes et al, 1996;Laukamm-Joster et al, 2000]. While recommended prevention may delay or avoid the onset of many of these medical conditions, once present most require continuous health management.…”
