“…Overweightness and obesity are negatively related with academic performance, as well as the poorer aerobic fitness of students [22]. It was also identified how psychological inflexibility, loneliness, and resilience are psychological factor related to academic success [23]. All these parameters not only affect academic outcomes, but also could negatively affect the autonomic stress response of students, being able to limit their resources in important academic events, such as dissertations, exams, or clinical evaluations [20,24].…”

The aims of this study were: i. to analyze the effect of nationality on the psychophysiological stress response of physiotherapy last year students in their final degree dissertations; and ii. to analyze the relationship between the stress response and academic results according to nationality. We evaluated the autonomic stress response, cortical arousal, distress subjective perception, and objective and subjective academic fulfilment in Spanish, Italian, and French physiotherapy students during their final degree dissertation. Results showed a large anticipatory anxiety response before the dissertation in the three student groups. Only the Spanish group showed an increased tendency in the habituation process, reducing the psychophysiological stress response during the dissertation, while the Italian and French groups maintained a large sympathetic activation until the end of the dissertation. Cortical arousal and subjective perception of distress were similar in the three nationalities. In addition, no correlation between academic fulfilment and autonomic modulation was found. We concluded that there was no nationality effect in the psychophysiological stress response of physiotherapy last year students in their final degree dissertation, all of them showing a large anticipatory anxiety response.

“…Heart Rate (HR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) was recorded by Polar Team Pro Sensor, Polar Electro, Kempele, Finland) during the 15 min prior to warming up and during the athletic tests, following the procedures of previous research [22]. The Polar system has a sampling frequency of 1000 Hz and is able to register the RR intervals (time interval between R waves of the electrocardiogram) for the analysis of HRV and the number of beats per minute for the HR analysis.…”

The Effect of Surgical Mask Use in Anaerobic Running Performance

COVID-19 restrictions stipulate the mandatory use of surgical masks during outdoor and indoor physical activities. The impact of this on athletic performance and especially on anaerobic physical activities is poorly known. The aim of the present research was to analyze the effect of surgical mask use on the anaerobic running performance of athletes. Modifications in running time, blood lactate, blood glucose, blood oxygen saturation, subjective perceived stress, rating of perceived exertion, and heart rate variability were measured in 50 m and 400 m maximal running tests with and without the use of surgical masks in 72 athletes. The use of a surgical mask increased blood lactate concentration, sympathetic autonomic modulation, perceived exertion, perceived stress, and decreased blood oxygen saturation in 50 and 400 m running tests. Thus, the higher levels of blood lactate and lower blood oxygen saturation require adaptation of the athlete’s rest and recovery periods to the acute workload. The higher level of sympathetic activation makes the acute and chronic control of autonomic modulation essential for an efficient training periodization. Finally, the use of acid buffers such as bicarbonate or sodium citrate would be a recommended ergogenic strategy.

“…Finally, the non-linear domain variables of SD1 and SD2 presented similar tendency to RMSSD and PNN50, showing high values before and after the OSCE, and lowing during the OSCE. This lack of habituation response was also evaluated in experienced nursing students in a real context as a hospital clinical simulation [23], pharmacy students in real chemistry laboratory practices [24], Ph.D. students in the defense of their doctoral project [25], and physiotherapy students in the defense of their final degree dissertation [26]. This non adaptive response to the stressful context of the OSCE could be related with a non-adaptive psychological profile and the low experiences with the specific stressor [8].…”

The aim of the present research was to analyze the autonomic stress response of nursing students in a nursing Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE). We analyzed, in 41 s-year nursing degree students (20.1 ± 2.3 years), modifications in heart rate variability (HRV) to monitor the autonomic stress response before, during and after the 18 different scenarios of a complete OSCE. Heart rate mean response of nurse students was consistent with an anticipatory anxiety response at the beginning of the OSCE, showing a sympathetic nervous system activation, but HRV parameters show contradictory results. The most stressful OSCE station was the CPR maneuver, the stress response varying according to the station’s demands.
