Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
This experiment explores what happens to Heart Rate Variability (HRV) during the Simple Bhramari practice and compares it with Coherent Breathing.Timepoint: Measurement duration from start till end of 5 minutes for both activities for each subject. This experiment explores what happens to Heart Rate Variability (HRV) during the Simple Bhramari practice and compares it with Coherent Breathing. Device used: Emwave Pro and analysis using Kubios Premium HRV software.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
SDNN (Standard Deviation of Normal to Normal Interval), RMSSD (Root Mean Square of Successive Standard Deviation) and Total PowerTimepoint: During the entire 5 minute long practice.
