Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences

In Cure: A Journey Into The Science of Mind Over Body, Dr. Jo Marchant explores the world of complementary and alternative medicine.

In some cases, traditional Western medicine has been unable to provide reliably effective treatment for medical conditions. In other cases, the treatment may result in intolerable side effects. Marchant addresses approaches such as hypnotherapy, virtual reality, and even the power of belief (as reflected in the placebo effect) in the treatment of such disparate conditions as Parkinson’s disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and Fibromyalgia. She combines …

Latihan pada cabang bersepeda memperhatikan intensitas dengan salah satu parameternya denyut jantung. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui perbedaan perubahan tekanan darah dan denyut jantung pada berbagai intensitas latihan atlet balap sepeda. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah 11 atlet balap sepeda Pegasus Continental Cycling Team selama periode pengamatan April-Juni 2015. Teknik sampling menggunakan total sampling. Analisis data menggunakan uji One Way Anova. F hitung denyut jantung dengan intensitas latihan 3,695 ‰¥ F tabel 3,316 dengan probabilitas 0,037 < 0,05 menunjukkan ada perbedaan signifikan antara perubahan denyut jantung dengan berbagai intensitas latihan. F hitung tekanan sistol dengan intensitas latihan 2,372 ‰¤ F tabel 3,316 dengan probabilitas 0,111 > 0,05 menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan signifikan antara perubahan tekanan sistol pada berbagai intensitas latihan. F hitung tekanan diastol dengan intensitas latihan 0,852 ‰¤ F …

Is Laughter The Best Medicine? An Evaluation Of The Physiological Effects Of Laughter, Annette Dalezman

The Science Journal of the Lander College of Arts and Sciences

Laughter directly affects one’s physiology. Laughter causes various muscle contractions which, in turn, affect body systems. Specifically, the cardiovascular, immune, and respiratory systems are impacted by laughter. Stress levels and pain tolerance thresholds are also directly impacted by laughter. Research has been done on the effects of laughter in patients with cancer, dementia, and atopic dermatitis. Based on the review of multiple experiments, a direct correlation between laughter and multiple body systems and diseases seems to exist.
