This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a four-week heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback intervention to improve physiological stress response, emotion regulation, and anxiety-related symptoms in young ethnic minority adults with a family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, where they will engage in guided paced breathing exercises, or a control group, which will follow standard conditions without the intervention. The study consists of five sessions, including an initial assessment, three weekly check-in sessions, and a final post-intervention assessment. Participants will practice paced breathing at home and attend brief in-lab sessions to track progress. Physiological and psychological measures, such as HRV, GSR, BP, anxiety levels, and responses to the Socially Evaluated Cold Pressor Test (SECPT), will be used to assess outcomes. Findings from this study may provide insights into accessible, non-invasive stress management interventions to mitigate CVD risk in high-risk populations.

Aims: To evaluate the combined effect of moderate intensity interval training and low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on cardiovascular disease risk and lower extremity functioning in the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: One hundred patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly allocated into four groups: group A (received moderate intensity interval training+low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy; n=25), group-B (received low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy only; n=25), group C (received moderate intensity interval training only; n=25), and (control group; no intervention; n=25). Treatment programs for groups A, B, and C were in the form of twice-weekly sessions for 8 weeks. Variables were evaluated at the beginning and the end of the study. The cardiovascular disease risk (evaluated using the Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease risk estimator plus tool, Framingham Cardiovascular Disease risk estimation tool, and the mean arterial pressure methods). Lower extremity functioning was evaluated using the Short Physical Performance Battery. Within and between-subjects statistical comparisons were performed to test the hypothesis (to test whether the combined application of moderate intensity interval training+low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is effective in improving the cardiovascular disease risk and lower limbs functional status in ethe lderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus), A P-value of \<0.05 was considered significant.
