Abstract:
Objective This study is to examine the effect of different breathing patterns (abdominal respiration,natural respiration)on skin temperature(TEMP),skin conductivity(SC) and heart rate variability (HRV) in college students.Methods We use single blind trial in the study,and randomly select thirty students,including fourteen male and sixteen female,aged 19.6±0.77 years,and then randomly divide them into two groups:the intervention group (abdominal respiration group,6 males and 9 females) and the control group(natural respiration group,8 males and 7 females).In the study three phases are included:baseline phase(five minutes),test phase(fifteen minutes),recovery phase(five minutes).Data of above indicators was collected at 3-5 min,14.5-19.5 min,and 23-25 min,respectively,during the study.Results (1) There are no significant difierences of all three indicators between the two groups in the baseline phase(P<0.05).(2)The SC of the test phase in the intervention group is lower than in the control group (P=0.05),while the TEMP and HRV of the two groups show no significant differences(P>0.05).(3)There are no significant differences of TEMP and the HRV in the recovery phase between the two groups(P>0.05),except the SC (P<0.05).Conclusion No significant difference is observed between the influences of abdominal and natural respiration on the emotion-related biological indicators.
