When it comes to physical training, the environment individuals choose can significantly enhance their performance. A recent study by Professor Dongwoo Jason Yeom and Ph.D. student Seonghyuk Son of Arizona State University and Professor Jae Yong Suk of the California Lighting Technology Center at the University of California, Davis explores indoor lighting and its influence on physiological signals in humans during exercise. This research aimed to understand the connection between different indoor lighting conditions, the body’s signals and physical training performance, while also considering the impact of gender. While under various lighting conditions, the study collected data for three physiological signals—pupil size, hand-grip strength and heart rate—during or soon after walking on a treadmill.
