本研究比较了76名大学运动员在深呼吸（DB）与节奏呼吸和渐进性肌肉放松（PMR）的生理应激反应指标。运动员接受了节奏呼吸训练，然后随机分配到DB或PMR组，并接受认知应激任务。DB导致潮气量显著高于PMR和起搏呼吸。DB还导致心率低于PMR。最后，DB导致的心率变异性（HRV）显著高于PMR，但与简单起搏呼吸相比则不然。两组人都报告说，干预后比起搏呼吸后感觉更放松。DB组报告了比PMR组更大的松弛趋势。Slow DB是一种易于教学的工具，可以让运动员成功管理压力反应，无论他们是准备测试还是比赛。
This study compared deep diaphragmatic breathing (DB) versus paced breathing and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on indices of physiological stress reactivity in 76 varsity athletes. Athletes were trained in paced breathing, and then randomized to either DB or PMR, and underwent a cognitive stressor task. DB resulted in significantly higher tidal volume compared to PMR and paced breathing. DB also resulted in lower heart rate than PMR. Finally, DB resulted in significantly higher heart rate variability (HRV) than PMR, but not compared to simple paced breathing. Both groups reported feeling significantly more relaxed after the intervention than after paced breathing. The DB group reported a trend toward greater relaxation than the PMR group. Slow DB is an easy to teach tool that may give athletes an edge on successfully managing stress reactivity, whether they are preparing for a test or for competition.
