Brief Summary  

This study will be carried out at the Human performance laboratory and out-patient department, Centre for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences (CPRS), Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi, India. The participants in both groups will be recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will fill questionnaires (PSQI, Cohen’s perceived stress questionnaaire and PROMIS-8 B scale, ) followed by objective assessment of HRV,orthostatic stress test, Hand Grip test,Cold Pressor test. The HRV will be recorded through a 3-lead ECG in the supine position. The electrodes will be placed on bony prominences, and depending on the color of the electrode, white is placed on the right ulnar styloid process, green on the right medial malleolus, and black on the left medial malleolus. It has time domains such as mean R-R interval, SDNN, rMMSD and PNN50 and frequency domains – high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF), and LF/HF.
