Summary: This study investigated the seasonal changes in physiological and psychological parameters of stress in collegiate swimmers. The results showed that the best swim performance occurred at the end of the off-season. The study also found a correlation between psychological stress and swim performance.

Summary: Driver fatigue is divided into passive fatigue and active fatigue. The current study investigates the physiological and behavioral changes associated with passive fatigue during a 90-minute driving task. Results show that drivers reported higher levels of fatigue as driving duration increased. Eye tracking indicators revealed increased pupil diameters and gaze dispersions. Drivers gradually lost control of the vehicle, resulting in faster speed and lower speed compliance. A compensatory process was found as passive fatigue increased. Designing driver monitoring systems should consider the unique changes accompanying passive fatigue.

Summary: The study found that among Iranian hospital service personnel, both physical and psychological workloads were high for a majority of participants. Various types of fatigue were associated with factors such as age, gender, marital status, daily working hours, and psychological workload. Psychological workload was identified as a determinant of occupational fatigue in this population, suggesting the need for intervention programs such as job enrichment, job rotation, and work-rest cycles.

Summary: We assessed the impact of daytime versus nighttime operations on operator performance during a lunar mission simulation. Our findings suggest that limiting work shifts during future operations can help minimize sleepiness. Additionally, working during the day with distractions increases perceived workload.

Summary: The study investigated the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites in the fatigue process under different humidity conditions using MD simulation. The results showed that humidity weakened interfacial adhesive performance, increased free volume, and caused water molecules to diffuse into the epoxy resin. The distance between matrix and fiber increased in dry conditions but decreased in wet conditions, with the rate of performance degradation decreasing with higher humidity due to poor initial performance.

Summary: This study investigated the acute effects of offshore sailing regatta on anthropometry, muscular performance, subjective recovery, and salivary biomarker cortisol. The findings demonstrated that offshore sailors experience increased fatigue during intensified periods of sailing competition, which may impair their physical and cognitive efficiency.

Summary: Poor learning environments can negatively impact learning outcomes. This study investigated the effects of lighting, sound, temperature, and smell in indoor classrooms on students' concentration and anxiety levels during learning. The findings suggest that lighting, sound, and temperature changes have significant effects on students' concentration, while lighting and sound changes are also likely to affect their anxiety levels. However, there is no significant relationship between anxiety and concentration during the learning process. These findings provide valuable insights for the planning and evaluation of future learning spaces.

Summary: Individual characteristics and contextual factors significantly impact training load, recovery, and game performance in basketball players. Guards and medium minute-per-game players had higher weekly load, with lower load when facing high-level opponents, during later season phases and short recovery cycles. Centers and high-experience players had poorer pre-game recovery, while high-MPG players performed better in games.

Summary: This study found that at least 48 hours of recovery interval is needed for the reestablishment of performance, with better perceptual responses evident at 72 hours. First set volume load, countermovement jump, and maximal voluntary isometric contraction were significantly correlated with volume load.
