Abstract:Variation of psychomotor performance during a normal working day and in noncircadian disrupted individuals cannot be measured by the rotary pursuit test. Furthermore, a learning effect could mask any variation in performance.
“…The salivary cortisol measurements confirmed the wellknown diurnal variations [33]. The difference found in favour of the intervention group has never been reported before in a such short-term intervention in apparently healthy people.…”
Simple relaxation training (diaphragmatic breathing and progressive muscle relaxation) could benefit employees and it is strongly proposed that these and other similar techniques should be tested in various labour settings.
