Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to develop and validate squash-specific fitness tests to identify physiological determinants of repeat-sprint ability and performance in sub-elite and elite-standard squash players. Study one examined the validity of a squash-specific test of endurance capability and VO[2max]. Trained squash players and runners completed squash-specific and treadmill incremental tests to exhaustion. Squash players achieved greater VO[2max] on the squash-specific than the treadmill test while runners did not differ. Squash players exercised longer than runners on the squash-specific t

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the emotional response of audiences to music via physiological indicators, with the goal of creating interfaces that use emotional stale for music control, specifically in performance scenarios via electrodermal and cardiovascular measures. In the past two decades, multiple disciplines have shown interest in studying the relationship between music, emotion, and its physiological manifestation. However, despite the increasing attention, the actual mechanisms on how music modulates human emotion and how this correlates with physiological changes are still not well unders

Thus, drawing from the findings of previous studies on acculturation, the researcher developed a set of acculturative stress indicators (Socialization, Religion, Nutrition, Education, Language, and Citizenship).

Abstract:
Les enfants souffrants de la paralysie cérébrale éprouvent un stress psychologique important lors de la rééducation. Ceci est lié à de nombreux facteurs psychologiques comme la peur, l'anxiété et les phobies, et d'autres physiques tels que le poids des appareils de rééducation, leurs frottements sur le corps, et les douleurs liées aux problèmes de motricité. Dans l'état de l'art, il a été montré que les chercheurs ont suivi une approche utilisant les paramètres physiologiques comme bioindicateurs de stress. Ils utilisent principalement des biosignaux tels que la température cutanée, l'électroc

Abstract:
This research aimed to help caregivers easily recognize physiological indicators of pediatric anxiety. To this purpose, we first elucidated the physiological indicators of anxiety in children by presenting an anxiety-inducing task while recording biosignals. We discovered patterns suggestive of cardiac reciprocal inhibition, increased respiration rate, and increased electrodermal activity. These patterns informed the optimization of an existing auditory prototype for presenting biosignals to caregivers (biosongs), which maps physiological features to musical elements. The effectiveness of the
