Welcome to participate in our study on well-being effects of breaks!

In our research, we will measure the effects of two different 10 min breaks with nature sound journey and human-made sounds. During the breaks we will measure physiological outcomes of relaxation (e.g. heart rate variability) and there will be couple of questionnaires to fill out (can be filled in Finnish or in English). The whole procedure will take less than one hour.

You don’t need previous experience of anything! You can participate if:

  • You are healthy
  • You are 18-60 years old
  • You don’t have cardio-related medication
  • You don’t have cardio-related illnesses
  • You don’t have heart arrhythmia

Instructions for preparation:

  • Please, don’t eat, smoke or drink coffee or other stimulants for 2 hours prior to the measurement
  • Please, avoid strenuous physical activity and alcohol for 24 hours prior to the measurements

If you like, we can analyze your body composition (i.e., TANITA) and give you a short feedback for free (after finishing participating in the study).

We are happy to give more information if you are interested!
