Resonant Breathing Score



General

Resonant breathing is the practice of slowing down one’s rate of breathing to about six breaths per minute. The average rate at which humans breathe is between 12–20 breaths per minute. By breathing at six breaths per minute, one naturally increases the variation in time between heartbeats (i.e. Heart Rate Variability). This can lead to what studies have called “Respiratory Coupling” in which a person’s heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory system sync up and can positively impact the body. The Resonant Breathing Score indicates whether the user is breathing at his resonant frequency or not. This is the ideal metric to provide a quantitative insight during your offered breathing exercise or other stress-relief exercises.



Output

Resonant Breathing Score is returned as an integer on a scale of 0 to 100 as a part of the output response JSON, with the key ‘resonant_breathing_score’.

0 - 40

No resonant breathing

Red

Your heart and breathing rate are not synchronized. Resonant breathing, also known as coherent breathing, is when you breathe at a rate of 5-6 full breaths per minute. You can achieve this rate by inhaling and exhaling for a count of 5.



Breathing at this rate maximizes your Heart Rate Variability, reduces stress (i.e. higher Acute Mental Stress Score), and can reduce symptoms of depression when combined with Iyengar yoga. To do this: • Inhale for a count of 5. • Exhale for a count of 5.

40 - 70

Partial resonant breathing

Yellow

Your heart and breathing rate are not completely synchronized. Resonant breathing, also known as coherent breathing, is when you breathe at a rate of 5-6 full breaths per minute. You can achieve this rate by inhaling and exhaling for a count of 5.



Breathing at this rate maximizes your Heart Rate Variability, reduces stress (i.e. higher Acute Mental Stress Score), and can reduce symptoms of depression when combined with Iyengar yoga. To do this: • Inhale for a count of 5. • Exhale for a count of 5.

70 - 100

Resonant breathing

Green

Your heart and breathing rate are synchronized. This type of breathing calms the body’s fight and flight response, increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve.
