| Abstract |
During various tracking tests, the heart rate and the corresponding sinus arrhythmia were determined as parameters for assessing the level of mental stress. The results are discussed in detail and compared with data from the literature. It is concluded that sinus arrhythmia is a more suitable parameter than heart rate for the quantification of mental stress in monotonous work. |
