The physiological effects of slow breathing in the healthy human
key take away :
According to the studies reviewed here, “autonomically optimised respiration” would appear to be in the band of 6–10 breaths per min, with an increased tidal volume that is achieved by diaphragmatic activation. Although not reviewed here, nasal breathing is also considered an important component of optimised respiration.
This is easily achievable in most individuals with simple practise and there is yet to appear in the literature any documented adverse effects of respiration in the 6–10 breaths per min range. Controlled, slow breathing appears to be an effective means of maximising HRV and preserving autonomic function, both of which have been associated with decreased mortality in pathological states and longevity in the general population .
