简要总结
The investigators aim to understand the effectiveness of 3 types of breathwork exercises and a mindfulness meditation control on improving psychological and physiological measures of wellbeing. The interventions will be delivered remotely and effects are monitored through daily surveys and physiological monitoring with WHOOP wristband through a 28-day period. The information gained will help develop the most effective remote interventions for lowering stress and improving wellbeing. The study will be run on a healthy general population. The three breathing conditions were 1) Cyclic Sighing, which emphasizes relatively prolonged exhalations, 2) Box Breathing, which is equal duration of inhalations, breath retentions, exhalations and breath retentions, and 3) Cyclic Hyperventilation with Retention, with longer, more intense inhalations and shorter, passive exhalations. Mindfulness Meditation practice involved passive attention to breath.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Examine psychological and physiological effects of breathwork in general in comparison to mindfulness meditation.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Examine the effectiveness of specific breathwork protocols in improving mood and physiological wellness metrics in comparison to mindfulness meditation.

研究组 & 干预措施
Mindfulness Meditation
5 minutes a day of mindfulness meditation practice for 28 days (passive attention to breath) delivered remotely through a video link.
干预措施: Mindfulness Meditation (Behavioral)
Cyclic Sighing Breathing
5 minutes a day of active breathwork practice for 28 days delivered remotely through a video link. The protocol consists of slow inhales until lungs felt full then one more inhale to maximally fill the lungs, followed up a slow exhale. Repeat this cycle for 5 minutes.
干预措施: Cyclic Sighing Breathing (Behavioral)
Box Breathing
5 minutes a day of active breathwork practice for 28 days delivered remotely through a video link. The protocol consists of equal duration of inhale, hold, exhale, hold cycles. The duration of the cycle is determined by the participant's comfort level with holding. (e.g. 4 sec inhale, 4 sec hold, 4 sec exhale, 4 sec hold). Repeat this cycle for 5 minutes.
干预措施: Box Breathing (Behavioral)
Cyclic Hyperventilation with Retention
5 minutes a day of active breathwork practice for 28 days delivered remotely through a video link. The protocol consists of 30 breaths (inhale deeply through the nose and exhale passively through the mouth) and after those 30 breaths, to exhale all their air via their mouth and to calmly wait with lungs empty for 15 seconds. Repeat this cycle for 5 minutes.
干预措施: Cyclic Hyperventilation with Retention (Behavioral)
