Abstract

Background: Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health concerns in people’s lifestyles. There are many traditional psychological methods to manage anxiety. Heart rate is the most relevant biomarker of the autonomic nervous system among the various physiological markers. Hence, the increase in the heart rate is associated with a wide range of negative psychological events. Objectives: In this study, a wearable device called a "smart bracelet" was developed and tested to make mechanical oscillations similar to normal people’s heart rates, and then the effect of it was evaluated among taekwondo athletes wearing this device before the matches. Methods: In order to evaluate the results, the heart rate was measured five minutes before the competition, with an average of 81 bpm in the group using the bracelet and 84.42 bpm in the group without the bracelet. The average heart rate in the group with the bracelet was 78.5, and without a bracelet was 92.14 bpm. Results: The results of this study showed that wearable technology inducing mechanical waves is similar to normal people’s heartbeat through the radial nerve, which reduces stress significantly and can prevent an increase in stress.

智能手环对跆拳道运动员赛前心率的放松作用

背景：焦虑症是人们生活方式中最常见的心理健康问题之一。有许多传统的心理学方法来管理焦虑。在各种生理标志物中，心率是自主神经系统最相关的生物标志物。因此，心率的增加与广泛的负面心理事件有关。目的：在本研究中，开发并测试了一种名为“智能手环”的可穿戴设备，以产生与正常人心率相似的机械振荡，然后在赛前佩戴该设备的跆拳道运动员中评估其效果。方法：为了评估结果，在比赛前5分钟测量心率，使用手环的组平均为81 bpm，不使用手环组平均为84.42 bpm。佩戴手镯组的平均心率为78.5 bpm，未佩戴手镯组为92.14 bpm。结果：这项研究的结果表明，可穿戴技术通过桡神经诱导机械波与正常人的心跳相似，可以显著减轻压力，并可以防止压力增加。

期刊介绍： Archives of neuroscience is a clinical and basic journal which is informative to all practitioners like Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, Psychiatrists, Neuroscientists. It is the official journal of Brain and Spinal Injury Research Center. The Major theme of this journal is to follow the path of scientific collaboration, spontaneity, and goodwill for the future, by providing up-to-date knowledge for the readers. The journal aims at covering different fields, as the name implies, ranging from research in basic and clinical sciences to core topics such as patient care, education, procuring and correct utilization of resources and bringing to limelight the cherished goals of the institute in providing a standard care for the physically disabled patients. This quarterly journal offers a venue for our researchers and scientists to vent their innovative and constructive research works. The scope of the journal is as far wide as the universe as being declared by the name of the journal, but our aim is to pursue our sacred goals in providing a panacea for the intractable ailments, which leave a psychological element in the daily life of such patients. This authoritative clinical and basic journal was founded by Professor Madjid Samii in 2012.
