Assessment

Primary outcomes

Subjective and Objective Concentration
Subjective concentration will be assessed using a 10cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) after a calculation task performed every 30 minutes.
Objective concentration will be evaluated by the number of calculations and the number/rate of correct answers on a calculation task performed every 30 minutes. Furthermore, alpha, beta, and theta waves will be measured using a portable electroencephalograph (EEG, ZA-X, Proassist).

Key secondary outcomes

Hunger, satiety, and sleepiness will be assessed every 30 minutes using a 10cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Blood glucose levels will be measured using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM).
Sleep quality, as well as bedtime and wake-up times, will be evaluated using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), a morning sleepiness questionnaire, and daily logs. An actigraph will also be used for evaluation.
Overall Quality of Life will be assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36v2), and mood states will be evaluated using the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition (POMS 2).
Body composition will be measured using the TANITA MC-780. Dietary habits will be assessed through photographic meal records. Core body temperature will be measured using CORE (greenTEG AG), and autonomic nervous activity will be measured using a heart rate monitor (WHS-1, Union Tool Co., Ltd.).
