Research plan and tasks to be executed by the research team
The purpose of the work on the project proposal is to acquire new knowledge in researching the impact of stress on the cardiac health of professional and amateur athletes.
The work program - the implementation of the following tasks is foreseen:
WP 1: Project Management.
WP 2: Survey of global research experience on the issues of studying the impact of stress on the cardiac health of professional and amateur athletes, as well as on simulating stressful conditions through 3D extreme games. It is planned to publish 2 scientific publications in journals or in the materials of scientific conferences.
WP 3: Modelling, Algorithmizing and Creating 3D Extreme Games. It is planned to publish 3 scientific publications in journals or in the materials of scientific conferences.
WP 4: Conducting mathematical linear and non-linear analysis of cardiac data registered in stressful situations. Statistical ROC analysis of the obtained results. It is planned to publish 5 scientific publications in journals or in the materials of scientific conferences.
WP 5: Dissemination and promotion of project results, by organizing 2 scientific seminars and printing brochures and materials.

Project management plan
The project team will be responsible for the implementation of the project activities. The project activities are distributed among the members of the scientific team as follows:
- Assistant Professor, Ph.D. Penio Dimitrov Lebamovski, IR-BAS - project leader.
Scientific tasks – Coordination of scientific research and create a 3D extreme game model. Development of algorithms to create the game. Development of a methodology for determining the fractal properties of cardiac signals registered in different stressful situations. Organization of the publication activity.
- Assistant Professor, Ph.D. Krasimir Yordanov Cheshmedzhiev, IR-BAS-specialist.
Scientific tasks – Algorithmization of graphic and wavelet methods for the analysis of HRV before and after a stressful situation. Assessment of the impact of stress on HRV and statistical processing of the obtained results. Publishing activity.
- Assistant Professor, Ph.D. Miroslav Trifonov Dechev, IR-BAS-specialist
Scientific tasks – Due to his less scientific experience (only 9 months), this postdoctoral fellow together with the project manager will take part in the development of algorithms for creating a 3D game, as well as in the organization of 2 scientific seminars. Publishing activity.
- Ekaterina Popovska-Slavova, part-time doctoral student at IR-BAS.
Scientific tasks – The dissertation work of the doctoral student has a direct connection with the present project proposal, as part of the mathematical apparatus that she uses in the analysis of economic data will be used. She will carry out a study of possible connections between the fractal (multifractal) properties of the HRV and the influence of stressful situations during training of athletes and as a result of a 3D game. Comparative analysis of the obtained results. Publishing activity.
- Yoan-Alexander Bogdanov Tsanev, student at the Technical University, Varna.
Scientific tasks – Creation and maintenance of a WEB site for the project. Assistance in the statistical processing of the data and organization of 2 scientific seminars.
