Heart Focused Movement Effects on Cardiometabolic Risk

Measured using resting Heart rate variability and computing parameters of high frequency power and coherence. Will be assessed with participants following a videoguide "to measure their heart rate" that helps them set up equipment and account, seated for 5 minutes of interbeat interval capture using the Inner Balance Bluetooth (HeartMath product) software and earlobe heart beat sensor.

Waist circumference is measured using tape measure around the waist (after exhale). This is part of the protocol for overall body composition computations using the Marine/Navy protocol.

Abdominal circumference is measured using tape measure around the abdomen/ This is part of the protocol for overall body composition computations using the Marine/Navy Protocol

Measured using tape measure to record inches while participant is standing against a wall.

Digital scales measurement is used to record weight in pounds.

Questionnaire about the amount of stress participants are experiencing daily use includes 10 items with a 0-4 response format. Total scores range from 0-40 with higher scores indicating more perceived stress.

Questionnaire about the sleeping habits of participants includes 7 items with response format of 0-4. Total scores range from 0 to 28 with higher scores indicating more severe insomnia: 0-7 = No clinically significant insomnia 8-14 = Subthreshold insomnia 15-21 = Clinical insomnia (moderate severity) 22-28 = Clinical insomnia (severe)

Questionnaire includes a 6-item subscale rating level of depression. Participants respond to a single word item by marking a response scale of 0 to 4, with totals ranging from 0-24. Higher scores indicate higher experience of depression.

The Letter-number sequencing, and forward backward digit span tests of the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) III will be administered to study participants to examine cognitive performance. Sets of letters and sets of numbers are read to the participant iteratively; after each set is read, the participant is to repeat back according to instructions to repeat or to repeat in backward order. The first sets are smaller numbers of presented items, increasing with each set of presentations, and are continued until the participant fails a full set. higher scores indicate better cognitive performance. Scores are based on a score of 1 per presented item completed correctly until failure, range 0-51(30 for digits forward/backward and 21 for letter number sequencing).
