Training of paced breathing at 0.1 Hz improves CO2 homeostasis and relaxation during a paced breathing task.
Volitional control of breathing often leads to excessive ventilation (hyperventilation) among untrained individuals, which disrupts CO2 homeostasis and may elicit a set of undesirable symptoms.The present study investigated whether seven days of training without any anti-hyperventilation instructions improves CO2 homeostasis during paced breathing
