This chapter delves into the intricate interplay between psychophysiological states, emotional regulation, and performance outcomes across diverse domains, including exercise behavior and athletic performance. By examining the impact of variables such as heart rate variability, skin conductance (SC), and respiratory rates, the chapter demonstrates how identifying functional and dysfunctional zones can pave the way for achieving optimal performance. Advanced machine learning models and predictive analytics are integrated to showcase their potential to enhance decision-making, safety, and performance optimization. Applications range from tailoring personalized exercise experiences and monitoring operator states via automated systems to forecasting athlete readiness and performance in high-stakes scenarios. By combining physiological and psychological variables, the chapter underscores the transformative potential of these insights in designing interventions to improve exercise adherence and elevate elite athletic performance.
