Key result
Examination stress is linked to greater sympathetic loading and heightened heart rhythm alterations in sympathotonic pupils.
Why the study?
Examination stress affects specialized school pupils’ health by increasing central regulation mechanisms and sympathetic nervous system activity, with sympathotonic pupils forming a risk group.

Does examination stress affect heart rhythm regulation in specialized school pupils?
Examination stress induces significant changes in heart rhythm regulation among high school pupils, especially those with baseline sympathotonic regulation.
The analysis of investigated exponents has revealed a deeper effect of examination stress on specialized school pupils’ health conditions. Increase of central regulation mechanisms’ activity was revealed in conditions of examination tension loading of sympathetic nervous system. The pupils, who have sympathotonic regulation, have formed a «risk» group and have more changes in integral exponents of heart rhythm regulation.

Dayan et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Examination stress. Examination stress was evaluated on Changes in integral exponents of heart rhythm regulation. Examination stress increased sympathetic nervous system loading, with pupils having sympathotonic regulation showing more changes in heart rhythm regulation.
