Humans can easily generate more than 1000 W of heat during heavy exercise. This heat has to be transferred to the environment to stay in thermal equilibrium. During exercise in extreme cold, heat loss may exceed heat production, and clothing is necessary to prevent hypothermia. It will be shown how ISO …

OBJECTIVE: To develop evidence-based recommendations for effective and safe diagnostic assessment and intervention strategies for the physiotherapy treatment of patients in intensive care units. METHODS: We used the EBRO method, as recommended by the 'Dutch Evidence Based Guideline Development Platform' …

With the increased adoption of real-time objective measurements of player experience, advances have been made in characterising the dynamically changing aspects of the player experience during gameplay itself. A direct coupling to player action, however, is not without challenges. Many physiological …

Pressure at play: measuring player approach and avoidance through the keyboard.With the increased adoption of real-time objective measurements of player experience, advances have been made in characterising the dynamically changing aspects of the player experience during gameplay itself. A direct coupling …

In this study we tested 39 Lactococcus lactis strains isolated from diverse habitats for their robustness under heat and oxidative stress, demonstrating high diversity in survival (up to 4 log units). Strains with an L. lactis subsp. lactis phenotype generally displayed more-robust phenotypes than strains …

Daylight has been associated with multiple health advantages. Some of these claims are associations, hypotheses or beliefs. This review presents an overview of a scientific literature search on the proven effects of daylight exposure on human health. Studies were identified with a search strategy across …

Monitoring (physical) stress in professional fire fighters. It is important to measure physical performance and stress of people with physically demanding professions. This will prevent (too) high physical strain and stress that leads to a negative influence on decision-making which ultimately may causes …

The present study examined whether performance characteristics discriminated between selected and deselected players in talent development programmes. This examination was carried out in talented soccer players, aged 16-18 years using objective measurement instruments. Four domains of multidimensional …

The implementation of rapid response systems (RRS) is based on the knowledge that deteriorating physiological processes are frequently present for hours or days before clear clinical deterioration is recognized [1,2]. It is assumed that this physiological deterioration is often treatable and that treatment …
