Background: Stress is described as a person's incapacity to cope with a change in their circumstances. Stress can be mental, physical, or a combination of both. To attain the goal, you'll need to be stressed to the maximum, yet too much stress can make you sick. The ability of people to cope with stress differs depending on their personalities. Individual qualities such as age, physical well-being, personality, and so on all influence the stress reaction. Our autonomic functions, which may be quantified in terms of heart rate variability, are affected by stress (HRV). As a result, the goal of this research was to examine the impact of physical stress on Type 'A' and Type 'B' personality types.
Methodology: For
this study, 30 persons aged 18 to 30 with Type 'A' personalities and 30 people
aged 18 to 30 with Type 'B' personalities were recruited. For short-term
analysis, HRV was assessed in all individuals at rest (baseline) and after
physical stress for five minutes. A 45-degree shoulder abduction of one arm
with maximum extension was used to apply physical stress.
The participants
with Type 'A' personalities had greater baseline heart rates than those with
Type 'B' personalities. When physical stress was applied, sympathetic
parameters (LF, LF: HF ratio) declined and parasympathetic parameters (HF)
increased in Type 'A' personality participants, whereas parasympathetic
parameters (HF) increased and sympathetic parameters (LF) decreased in Type 'B'
personality subjects.
