title: [Relaxing effects of local heat-air exposure under stresses in students].
abstract: The relaxing effects of local heat-air exposures (TAE) on man (60 male students aged 19-21 years) were studied using a specially designed device which may control temperatures and time on an individual basis depending on the examinees' sensation of a positive emotion. On study days and under examination stress. TAE was shown to reduce situation-induced anxiety, to increase the duration and variability of R-R intervals on ECG, to make EEG right-frontal delta- and theta-indices lower and EEG right occipital and frontal alpha-index higher. The range of visual accommodation increased. The findings suggest that the proposed graded local heat-air exposure procedure is an effective tool of relaxation and prevention of negative effects of emotional stress.
