(author)The effects of stress may be alleviated when its impact or a decreased stress-resilience are detected early. This study explores whether wearable-measured sleep and resting HRV in police officers can be predicted by stress-related Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) measures in preceding days and predict stress-related EMA outcomes in...article 2023

de Vries, H. (author), Oldenhuis, H. (author), van der Schans, C. (author), Sanderman, R. (author), Kamphuis, W. (author)The emergence of wearable sensor technology may provide opportunities for automated measurement of psychophysiological markers of mental and physical fitness, which can be used for personalized feedback. This study explores to what extent within-subject changes in resting heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep predict the perceived mental and...article 2023

Pappas, K. (author), Mackie, L. (author), Zilakos, I. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Angeloudis, A. (author)Tides exhibit variability over time. This study proposes a methodology for selecting a representative timeframe for tidal range energy analyses, when constrained to a typical, short-term, lunar month-long period. We explore how the selection of particular timeframes skews findings of energy assessments, especially for cross-comparisons across...article 2023
