STUDENT WORK
P RO F E SS O R CEES DE BONT _ I’m excited to be here for this year’s Degree Show 2019, my first Degree Show since joining the School as new Dean in 2018. Here the academic work from our 2019 graduating year is revealed. _ Loughborough Design School has its own unique character and every student in the School has their own individual approach to design. Something that unites all of our graduating students is their ability to demonstrate a very mature understanding of industry environments. This teamed with their highly developed practical skills and knowledge creates future designers who are highly sought after by industry. _ For our students, it’s not just about making products for people to consume, these students are creating the next products, services and solutions that are relevant to society today and for tomorrow. They can have a commercial side, but the starting point is not always business, it’s about adding to the quality of the lives of people, and improving the world we live in. _ Many of the projects have a personal touch and engage with people. Our students look for ways to improve the condition of humankind in many different areas. These students have a central focus on improving the wellbeing of people through harnessing the potential of new technologies and coming up with concrete solutions to make real improvements. _ With design, you can innovate aesthetically, innovate with functionality the ease to use, and you can innovate in terms of meaning. You only get a new meaning when you understand the end user well. All of our students can demonstrate a deep understanding of the end user. With this they’re able to come up with something new that fits seamlessly into people’s lives, adds to their understanding and their meaning of the world, allowing them to benefit from this innovation that can be embedded in how they live and operate. It’s this depth of understanding that all our students demonstrate which I’m truly proud of. _ Under the theme of “Revealed” which was chosen for this year’s showcase, we will show you more than just the skills our students have refined during their time at Loughborough Design School. We will give you an insight into the dedication, passion, inspiration, and the personalities behind the innovative ideas and designs. _ Please join me in congratulating our 2019 graduating year on their achievements and wishing them every success in their future endeavours.

AWARD WINNING ALUMNI
AWARD WINNING ALUMNI ROBIN SPICER Red Dot Award Winner 2019 International Symbol of Outstanding Design Quality
_ Design School Alumnus Robin Spicer’s final year product wins the prestigious international RedDot award. _ Robin, who graduated in 2015 with a BA in Industrial Design and Technology, designed the award winning Armis Helmet in his final year at Loughborough Design School. _ “The Armis Polo Helmet has had its fair share of success in the polo industry, but my background is heavily involved in design,” explains Robin “so to be recognised by the design industry is huge, and for it to be on the biggest industry stage is really humbling.” _ In a sport where falling, being knocked unconscious and returning to the game shortly after is common, the helmet aims to reduce potentially long-term stress and neck injuries.
_ Robin’s product won the 2019 RedDot Award for Product Design after being launched onto the market in 2017. His design beat off over 5,500 other submissions from 55 countries. _ “Loughborough Design School has a fantastic framework to grow new talented designers. The comprehensive range of areas taught, teamed with the learning environment and industries connections produce well considered designs and have helped launch this product into production and grow it into the business it is today.” _ And his advice for this year’s graduates? “Use your final year product as your personal job advert or take it into production, you have spent a year of development on it which real world companies cannot afford to do on every project, so make this investment count!”.

ONE YEAR ON CHARLOTTE WILTON BSc (Hons) Product Design and Technology
What was your experience like at New Designers? _ The whole Loughborough New Designers team were so supportive. When I won my awards It was a completely surreal experience getting taken to the press room to be interviewed, photographed also and to get to chat to the industry Judges. It felt amazing to be able to stand next to and present a design that I had put so much work into. _ It was a great opportunity to chat with everyone from school students to companies and experts in the field, along with meeting so many other talented graduates along the way. How have things developed with b since you graduated? _ Since graduating b has developed into its own organisation; ‘b our bridge’, which is aiming to empower rough sleepers through cashless donations which can only be redeemed responsibly (e.g. food, shelter, education). Also through the platform you are able to learn a small amount about the person to encourage you to interact and break down the isolation barrier that is currently being experienced if you are sleeping on the streets. _ I have been lucky enough to join the NatWest Accelerator program as well as Loughborough University’s own program ‘The Studio’ which has been a huge help in getting me to where I am today. Currently I am in the process of building an app to launch a pilot scheme which, if successful, will provide me with a strong foundation to go into my first funding round.

What has life been like since you graduated in 2018? _ Life has been a real adventure. The NatWest Program has allowed me to get involved in conferences like Women Mean Business where I had the pleasure of meeting incredible people such as Pip Jaimeson (The Dots), Mary Portas (Net a Porta), Touker Suleyman (Dragons Den) and even Clare Balding (Sports Commentator). Equally at The Studio I had the honour of joining a roundtable with Andrew Fisher, previous CEO of Shazam and Loughborough alumni allowing us to get some in-depth guidance into starting a successful organisation.
What are the things, that you learnt at Loughborough Design School, that you now use? _ The most significant thing was my work ethic and learning to balance multiple projects at once. I am the CEO, marketing and social media, finance manager, designer, logistics, you name it, I’m doing it. The skills I’ve learnt throughout my Loughborough life have equipped me for this adventure. _ The design process itself has a direct correlation to the start up journey. In order to be a successful start-up you must always keep the user at the heart of every decision and to test your ideas with your customers at every step, much like the design process does with prototypes and iterations. The way we have been taught to analyse situations is incredibly transferable. What advice would you give to design school students graduating this year? _ My advice is always be passionate, in everything you are doing. Care about the problem you are trying to solve. Really care. It makes such a difference and it will shine out of everything you do. As a designer, you need to be able to communicate your idea as effectively as possible, and we have a wide range of tools to do so. But those tools involve a passion, without it, no one else is going to buy into your dream.

Charlotte’s product _ b is a hand-held device that uses Bluetooth and a mobile app to connect rough sleepers and passers by. It looks to empower rough sleepers through a cashless donation system which encourages one-to-one interactions to bridge the societal gap. It also has an alarm to improve personal safety on the streets.

INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT
I N D U ST R Y E N GAG E M E N T _ The Design School engages with industry in many ways to provide our students with exciting opportunities to develop their understanding of the commercial world.
0 2 0
LOUGHBOROUGH DESIGN SCHOOL
Guest Lectures and Seminars – offering our students a direct insight into specific industries.
Industry Placements – offering a real experience of industry employment.
_ We host personal lectures, workshops, presentations and meetings, given by experienced industry professionals. Our students get a truly valuable and unique insight into different professions, cultures and businesses, and our visitors get to work with the latest emerging talent within the School.
_ At the end of their 2nd year of study, our students can experience a year in industry; working for a business as part of their staff. This handson experience is beneficial to both student and business; utilising one another’s expertise and developing a relationship with the School. Students are supported by tutors and the placements officer within the School and can work on live commercial projects within their chosen industry. Our students are highly sought after for placement positions, and their placement experience is invaluable to future graduate employment.
Live Projects – an exciting opportunity for students to receive a real design brief as part of their studies. _ Students are set a brief, which is provided by leading companies in various industries. Students choose from a selection of design briefs from which they are asked to develop an innovative design solution within a specific time. It is a rigorous test of our students’ abilities to showcase their skills and apply their learning to a realistic industry brief. Competitions – a chance to engage with business. _ Different businesses set competitions that our students can enter. These are usually out of the usual curriculum, and have various briefs, designs and prizes. Visiting alumni – aspiration from Design School graduates. _ We have a close connection with our alumni, and we always encourage formal and informal visits to the School. It is motivational for current students to see the successes of our graduated students, as our alumni continue their relationship with the School as visiting speakers, hosting workshops or setting competitions, as well as employing graduates and placement students.
Exhibitions – a showcase of project work to potential employers. _ Each graduating year can reveal their project work at the end of year Degree Show. With special events for friends and family, schools, the general public and industry, the Degree Show is a significant finale to the year and a chance for every student to show off all their hard work. The industry event is a key opportunity for companies to meet our emerging designers face to face, and regularly provides the basis for interviews and employment. Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) Competition

_ Each year Loughborough Design School selects RSA Student Design Awards briefs from the Industrial Design Studies final year module as a vehicle to empower students to tackle pressing social, environmental and economic issues through design thinking. It challenges students to open up further the potential of design to benefit society, to stretch boundaries and think differently about design; finding innovative, commercially viable, practical solutions to global social problems. We have a long history of winning competition briefs through this module, including multiple RSA competition wins and special commendations.
INDUSTRY PLACEMENT
I N D U ST R Y P L AC E M E N T _ Between Years 2 and 3, all design students are able to undertake either a year in industry (leading to the award of Diploma in Professional Studies) or 6 months in industry together with 6 months at an international partner university (leading to the award of Diploma in International Studies). Industry placements provide students with ‘real world’ experience. They work on live commercial projects often engaging with clients and vendors as well as colleagues in marketing or engineering functions. This is beneficial throughout the final year, and adds significantly to students’ employment prospects upon graduation. _ The importance that the School places on industrial experience is demonstrated by the support given to students when applying for placement positions. All students are supported by a dedicated member of staff who acts as a point of contact for employers looking to recruit from the school. This member of staff is also able to provide support and advice regarding, for example, CVs, interviews and negotiation of contracts. Second year Industrial Design and Product Design students undertake a compulsory module requiring the creation of a design portfolio, and throughout Semester 2 the School runs ‘portfolio surgeries’ where students receive critical feedback from staff with previous experience of hiring placement students. As a result of this support over 90% of school students are successful in securing placements.

Current users of social media bounce between different platforms to perform different uses as some media seems to be preferred than others due to being inundated with features that don’t necessarily add to a user’s experience. What people don’t realise is that there are huge contributions in social psychology and user experience design that attribute to the adoption of social medias.
Method Numerous research methods were used to discover the necessary information that would be needed to create the new app, such as consumer and expert interviews alongside a large survey sample to understand the current state of the media that is already available to us. UX wire-framing was then used to display the idea that will be then pursued after my studies.
By creating an optimised platform to focus on the key aspects/interests among all the medias would increase user engagement and sociability.
Conclusion For intellectual property reasons i won’t be disclosing what information i found as I am beginning to develop the app in order to bring the idea to market.

Aim The aim of this research is to discover the key features and aspects of current social media by using different research methods so that an optimized form of an app can be created to inform the researchers work after the research submission.

As symptoms are difficult to detect, nearly 2/3rds of women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced cancer which requires intensive treatment. During recovery from treatment women have to monitor their health. Full blood count (FBC) is used to indicate how well the patient is recovering and determine the timing of their next treatment. However, these blood tests involve numerous inconvenient and tiring hospital visits. d e s i g n s h o w. l b o ro . a c . u k / h - j e n n i n g s 01/

This project provided an evaluation of an incident analysis tool, recently developed for the nuclear domain, to determine its potential applicability based on its theoretical underpinnings and varying usage characteristics.
d e s i g n s h o w. l b o ro . a c . u k / b - b a r r i n g e r
A multitude of techniques are currently used across the nuclear domain that aim to understand and assess the potential for human error and determine underlying causal factors that contribute to an incident. However, the applicability and effectiveness of existing Human Factors (HF) safety assessment techniques is often argued among researchers and practitioners, particularly within the nuclear domain. Recently, a HF tool has been developed for use in the nuclear industry, aiming to identify and classify error conditions and determine causal factors that contribute to incidents at nuclear power plants, but lacks extensive validation. Aim The purpose of this study is to provide a disciplined experimental approach to consider whether the new HF tool could be implemented into OE analysis within the safety critical domain of nuclear maintenance. By evaluating the tool under specific conditions determined by nuclear safety experts, it was hoped this study would determine whether the tool has potential for integration into the industry and provide a basis for improvements or validation that can be addressed with further work.

Method The study recruited five nuclear safety experts to participate in interviews in an effort to gather information associated with how HF methods are applied in practice. This information,
+44(0) 7736 207 024
coupled with findings from literature, was compiled to create an evaluative framework that aimed to assess both the theoretical underpinnings and preferred usage characteristics of safety practitioners in the nuclear industry. The HF tool, alongside two more popular methods, FRAM and HFACS, was applied in the analysis of two incident reports, whereby providing a context in which to evaluate the tool against the framework. Conclusion The study presented an evaluation of a new HF tool in the specific context of the nuclear industry, alongside a comparison against two contemporary analysis methods. The evaluation suggests that, despite some issues associated with taxonomic causality analysis, the new HF tool may be best utilised to identify causality trends over multiple incidents to facilitate the identification of data-driven safety interventions. It was recommended that, if applied in the nuclear industry, the taxonomy is further modified, validated and continually revisited to maintain its applicability and value for identifying incident causality trends at nuclear power stations.

By collecting real time data from the cockpit of a British GT Championship winning car, the Barwell Motorsport Lamborghini Huracan I was equipped with accurate and representative cockpit conditions that drivers are being subject to. This enabled my study to efficiently simulate race conditions in order to collect quantifiable data on driving performance in varying environments. As technology has progressed to where it is today, we can now quantify with use of selected equipment the need for a development in a system to measure and control cockpit temperature as well as the driver’s internal core temperature.

The aim of this study is to determine if cyclists can perceive a difference between two gear combinations of the same mechanical advantage.

Road cycling is a sport of marginal gains, manufacturers push the boundaries of design to create the lightest, most aerodynamic and most efficient bicycles. However, a large part of cycling is in the psychology of a rider. Feel or effort perception is one determining factor in which gear a cyclist chooses when climbing, descending or cycling into a headwind. This study investigates human perception between gears that are of an identical mechanical advantage. Aim This study aimed to identify if there is a detectable difference between two gear combinations (36x12 and 51x17) of the same mechanical advantage (78.9 Inch gear). This study aimed to identify if a cyclist could detect a difference based on feel alone, and also if visual stimuli played a role in any perceivable difference between the two gear combinations. Method 10 participants cycled on a static bike at 80rpm with a resistance of 200watts for a 5-minute session in each of the two aforementioned gear combinations. This was carried out under two experimental conditions. Blindfolded and Not blindfolded. Perceived exertion values were collected every minute of the 5-minute sessions. These were

combined together with heart rate to determine if there was a perceivable difference and a simple physiological difference between the gearing combinations. Participants were also asked to identify which of the two gear combinations they felt was the more difficult within each experimental condition, and could they identify which of the two gearing combinations involved using the bigger chain ring (51tooth). Conclusion There was no statistically significant difference between heart rate or perceived exertion values between the two gear combinations, both within and between the experimental conditions. Suggesting there is no perceivable difference. However, when asked 8 participants perceived one of the gears to be more difficult than the other and 2 identified that the gears felt the same. This was also the case in the non blindfolded condition. 3 participants were unable to identify which gear was the bigger chain ring when blindfolded. In conclusion a greater sample size is needed in further study to further understand any significant perceptual differences between gears.

I N V E ST I GAT I N G T H E E F F E CTS O F W I N D V E LO C I T Y A N D C LOT H I N G O N E N E RGY E X P E N D I T U R E Wind can be seen as a resistive or assistive force exerted on an individual, which requires energy to overcome. The broad aims of this project were to explore the interaction of wind velocity on energy expenditure and whether clothing type has an impact on this interaction.
d e s i g n s h o w. l b o ro . a c . u k / p - e ll i s
There is surprisingly limited literature on the impact of wind velocity on energy expenditure in individuals, with previous studies indicating a curve linear relationship between energy expenditure and wind velocity in steady state treadmill exercise. However, the force of the wind (or Dynamic Pressure) exerted on an individual is determined by their projected area and geometric shape, both of which can be influenced by clothing. It is well established that clothing, particularly personal protective clothing, influences individuals energy expenditure due to the additional weight and restricted movement, which can decrease time to fatigue and cause potential heat stress. If personal protective clothing causes further increases to energy expenditure due to it increasing the force exerted by the wind on an individual, then these effects need to be quantified to better understand the impacts.

Aim The aim of the research project was to investigate the effects of headwinds and tailwinds on energy expenditure in individuals during steady state treadmill walking and whether this effect is different depending on the type of clothing ensemble. Additionally, the study also aimed to explore whether individuals with a larger projected area or fitness level effects the changes in energy expenditure observed due to the effects of wind.
+44(0) 7519 833 746
Method The study employed 10 participants that walked in four experimental wind conditions (no wind, 4 m/s and 8 m/s headwind, and 8 m/s tailwind) in two different clothing ensembles; a light clothing ensemble and a large bulky cold weather clothing ensemble. Participants energy expenditure from each experimental condition was measured through analysis of expired air. Energy expenditure in all wind conditions in the light clothing ensemble was then compared to the energy expenditure in all wind conditions in the cold weather clothing ensemble. Conclusion Overall, in addition to the effects of the increased clothing weight and restricted movement relative to the light clothing, it was concluded that the larger projected area caused by the cold weather clothing ensemble increased energy expenditure in increasing headwind. Conversely, in the tailwind direction, the cold weather increased the assistive properties of the wind which masked the additional energy expenditure caused by the clothing weight and restricted movement.

The future is holding some significant changes in vehicle autonomy, and so the aims of this project were to explore the need for developing a methodology to code cyclist behaviour on the road to aid the development of Autonomous Vehicles.
d e s i g n s h o w. l b o ro . a c . u k / d - fe r l a n ce
Cyclists are currently the most at-risk vulnerable road users with over 18,000 casualties sustained in 2017 alone. Research shows they are most susceptible to injury at intersections when attempting to carry out right turns. With the UK’s recent drive towards vehicle autonomy, autonomous vehicles pose a threat to cyclists before they have entered production. Aim The aim of this research project was to generate a methodology that codes the reasonably foreseeable behaviour of cyclists, with the view to aid the development of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and ensure cyclists remain safe on the road. It would also propose a minimum standard AVs should pass before being viable on the road.

Method The study conducted 20 naturalistic observations of right turn manoeuvres using YouTube and were analysed using the legal principles of reasonability and foreseeable harm, alongside enforceable rules outlined in the Highway Code. Coding criteria was created via an iterative process throughout the observations to determine whether each scenario was reasonable and reasonably foreseeable. This produced a final code showing the relationship between the two variables:
94w x 79h
• Reasonable (R+) and
Reasonably Foreseeable (RF+) (Acceptable behaviour)
• Reasonable (R+) and
Reasonably Unforeseeable (RF-)
• Unreasonable (R-) and
Reasonably Foreseeable (RF+)
• Unreasonable (R-) and
Reasonably Unforeseeable (RF-) (Violations)
Conclusion Of the 20 scenarios, 45% exhibited actions which were neither acceptable behaviour nor violations of the road laws yet fell somewhere between the two: the grey area. It was concluded that these behaviours should be accepted as they are a result of oversights in the road design and misinformation
about cyclists’ road rights, and would produce a real world data set for AV computer programmers. Fully autonomous vehicles have been announced to grace our roads in as little as 2 years, but the reality is if they cannot seamlessly integrate themselves into the UK’s road network at a matched or similar level to current human drivers, then the furthest point of vehicle autonomy will be developing vehicle-tovehicle (V2V) communication and dialogue with infrastructure. This would be the most futuristic possibility reached to maintain the structure of the road network and hopefully address and ensure the current and future safety of cyclists.

It is no exaggeration to suggest that today’s generation is defined by the smart phone. The last ten years have seen an exponential growth in both the capability and use of mobile phones, and the area in which those changes have brought most change is that of social connectivity. People are now more and more often, more intensely, more colourfully, than they have ever been at any other point in human history. For the younger half of society in the developed world, social connectivity through handheld devices has become the norm. Little wonder then that concert audiences with the will and the means to share their experience routinely capture music events and concerts; providing them with the opportunity to instantly share the footage on social media platforms. However, this change in the behavioural norms of the concert goer, brought about by an overreliance on technology and addiction to social media platforms, influencing the audiences need to video concerts; in turn affecting the live experience. Aim The aim of this dissertation is to explore the experiences of members of the audience at past events, questioning their incentives behind camera phone use during a live performance, as well as the extent to which this behaviour affects their audience experience.

While conducting legislative tests during my placement year, it became evident safety testing does not encompass natural human behaviour and has little consideration for the future. This project investigates the influences on young drivers’ safety in future autonomous vehicles.

As an Ergonomist working as a Safety Test Engineer, it was immediately evident that there were shortcomings across the safety sector. This leaves the entirety of the intended population inadequately protected. Particular attention should be given to individuals’ behaviours, namely amongst younger members of the driving population, and the associated connections with advances in technology. It is widely known that hand-held devices can cause significant distractions amongst vehicle drivers. This is of increased importance for the younger driver group due to their familiarity with hand-held technology, as well as their susceptibility to distractions and peer pressures. With the move towards autonomous driving, is there an increased risk of younger drivers decreasing their safety in cars through how they entertain themselves during journeys? Aim This study aims to investigate some of the influencing factors on the safety of the young driver population within autonomous vehicles. Through the behaviours of individuals during a simulated autonomous vehicle journey, conclusions and recommendations can be made on areas of safety interest for younger drivers.

investigation had three main focuses: - Effects of social influences on paired and unpaired passengers - Effects of motorway vs inner-city roads - Effects of vehicular interior design and driver controls The participants were recorded and their actions during the journey were analysed. Comparisons were made between subjects across the three main areas being investigated. Statistical analysis was conducted to show significance between trends, and conclusions were made on observations recorded during the investigation. Implications Autonomous vehicles bring a whole new approach to driving. Observations made in this investigation show that people react in an entirely different way to when they are in charge of a vehicle. This was observed particularly in the case of paired occupants where there was the tendency to behave irresponsibly. Autonomous vehicles bring a wide range of uses, which provides a whole new realm of safety considerations for human factors engineers to tackle.

At some point, a situation will develop on the roads that Autonomous Systems can’t efficiently cope with, whether this be an ethical decision or simply a miscalculation. At this point, human intervention will be imperative.

The development of new Autonomous technologies will lead to these vehicles becoming a more common sight on the roads. Human Factors issues will likely be experienced by all users of autonomous vehicles throughout the ownership period, particularly as consumer trust increases in the product. It’s likely that complacency will lead to slower reengagement times, particularly as passive fatigue becomes a contributing factor. Aim The aim of this research To research potential Human Factors issues and the contributing factors with driver reengagement in hazardous situations without warning in autonomous vehicles. This is supplemented with a comparison of the effects of duration of time exposed to the driving task with reengagement times in the event of a hazardous situation. Method The study employed 16 participants acquired through convenience sampling, and later divided them into two groups of 8. Using a visualiser, each participant was asked to monitor the drive as they would if they were in an autonomous vehicle and asked to only intervene if they felt the system couldn’t cope with a road situation. Participants in Group 1 were shown footage of a 2-minute drive, culminating in a hazardous

event in the final seconds. Group 2 participants were shown a 20-minute drive before the same hazardous event occurred. Conclusion Overall, the study confirmed that reaction (and therefore re-engagement) times were increased once participants had been driving for a prolonged period of time (20 minutes); this correlation was found to be statistically significant. This delayed reaction was inevitably caused by passive fatigue, an issue which is caused by cognitive under-load and declines in task engagement. Whilst autonomous vehicles may be a thing of the future, the Human Factors issues should be addressed now. This will give adequate foresight into the potential effects of Level 4 Autonomous Vehicles within society and on human cognition whilst driving said vehicles. Increased understanding of contributory factors to slow driver reengagement will hopefully allow for further development of more comprehensive driver monitoring systems and methods for retaining driver attention. Further exploration could be carried out researching the effects of passive fatigue over longer periods of time, whilst greater vehicle familiarisation will better replicate Autonomous Vehicle ownership.

Around 100,000 people in the UK suffer with MS. Patients experience a range of sensory, motor and cognitive symptoms due to lesion formation in the central nervous system which is caused by demyelination of nerve cells. MS symptoms can be temporality exacerbated with elevations or decreases in body temperature.
d e s i g n s h o w. l b o ro . a c . u k / j - o g a r ro
Background Temperature sensitivity is caused primarily by the slowing, or complete blocking, of neural conduction within the central nervous system . This is caused by changes in body core temperature and potentially skin temperature. The extent of demyelination and the degree of change in body temperature both effect the magnitude of symptom worsening. Temperature sensitivity As one of the many side effects of MS, patients can experience temperature sensitivity issues, which can aggravate existing symptoms. With up to 80% of patient’s experiencing temperature sensitivity – either heat sensitivity, cold sensitivity or both. There is currently no pharmacological intervention that can lessen the burden of temperature sensitivity. Several methods of coping with temperature sensitivity have been developed (e.g. using cooling vests for heat or using hot water bottles for cold) yet there is little knowledge on how practical and beneficial these strategies are, and how they impact on patients in their day to day living. There is also little literature guidance available online or provided by medical professionals for patients to follow in regard to temperature sensitivity which can make its management disheartening.

Aim The aim of the research project has been to evaluate methods (both product and non-product based) used by MS patients to combat their temperature sensitivity. The gathered information has been used to inform practical patient centred approaches to reduce the burden of temperature sensitivity in the MS clinical population to improve quality of life and disease management.

Method This research project included an online survey with a sample size of 454 participants, followed up by two focus groups of 6 and 5 participants respectively. Conclusion Overall it was found that patients would appreciate better streamlined guidelines on how to deal with their temperature sensitivity. A range of product based suggestion where also noted by participants many of which are currently available and are deemed to work for ameliorating patient symptoms.

Due to the emergence of mental health as a public health concern, slow deep breathing is becoming more widely used in western society. Literature is growing in this area. Recent studies have shown that it can be used as an autonomic way to control physiological functions.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of slow deep breathing at extreme altitude in moderate trait anxious females. A repeated measures experimental design was used whereby participants performed submaximal exercise in a normobaric chamber set at 10% oxygen (5800m altitude). During exercise, anxiety was induced in the form of a mental maths test and falsely being informed that altitude was increasing. Prior to exercise, either slow deep breathing (six breaths per minute) or normal breathing took place in the chamber. Cardiopulmonary activity, subjective anxiety scores and exercise duration were recorded. It was found that in the slow deep breathing trial, minute ventilation and oxygen saturation significantly increased. There was a mean increase in exercise duration following slow deep breathing. However, this

difference was insignificant. There was a bigger difference between exercise duration in those who had higher trait anxiety and baseline state anxiety. Those who had higher trait and state anxiety had a bigger increase in exercise following slow deep breathing compared to normal breathing. This implies that slow deep breathing is more effective at extreme altitude for those who are more anxious. This research suggests that slow deep breathing could significantly improve submaximal exercise performance at extreme altitude in high trait anxious females.
