“…Changes of posture and slow 0.1 Hz breathing are also significantly interrelated with the breathing pattern (Mortola et al, 2016;Hernandez et al, 2019;Mortola, 2019), and, both individually and jointly, provide an insight into the contribution of (a) the peripheral factor of changed respiratory mechanics (horizontal vs. vertical plane, Mortola, 2019) during orthostatic challenge, and (b) the impact of central, slow 0.1 Hz breathing control on the complexity regimes of the respiratory signal (Papaioannou et al, 2011;Mortola et al, 2016;Reulecke et al, 2018). Finally, parallel evaluation of cardiorespiratory parameters and cardiorespiratory coupling by the RRI-Resp coherence, cross DFA and cross MSE provides an insight into cardiorespiratory integrative mechanisms in these conditions.…”

“…Specifically, regarding respiratory complexity, the change of posture and breathing regime are significantly interrelated with the breathing pattern (Mortola et al, 2016;Hernandez et al, 2019;Mortola, 2019). These two conditions, both individually and jointly, could give an insight into the contribution of (a) the peripheral factor for changed respiratory mechanics (horizontal vs. vertical plane) during orthostatic challenge, and (b) the impact of slow, voluntary 0.1 Hz control of breathing to the complexity regimes of the respiratory signal.…”

Objective: We explored the physiological background of the non-linear operating mode of cardiorespiratory oscillators as the fundamental question of cardiorespiratory homeodynamics and as a prerequisite for the understanding of neurocardiovascular diseases. We investigated 20 healthy human subjects for changes using electrocardiac RR interval (RRI) and respiratory signal (Resp) Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA, α 1RRI , α 2RRI , α 1Resp , α 2Resp), Multiple Scaling Entropy (MSE RRI1−4 , MSE RRI5−10 , MSE Resp1−4 , MSE Resp5−10), spectral coherence (Coh RRI−Resp), cross DFA (ρ 1 and ρ 2) and cross MSE (X MSE1−4 and X MSE5−10) indices in four physiological conditions: supine with spontaneous breathing, standing with spontaneous breathing, supine with 0.1 Hz breathing and standing with 0.1 Hz breathing. Main results: Standing is primarily characterized by the change of RRI parameters, insensitivity to change with respiratory parameters, decrease of Coh RRI−Resp and insensitivity to change of in ρ 1 , ρ 2 , X MSE1−4 , and X MSE5−10. Slow breathing in supine position was characterized by the change of the linear and non-linear parameters of both signals, reflecting the dominant vagal RRI modulation and the impact of slow 0.1 Hz breathing on Resp parameters. Coh RRI−Resp did not change with respect to supine position, while ρ 1 increased. Slow breathing in standing reflected the qualitatively specific state of autonomic regulation with striking impact on both cardiac and respiratory parameters, with specific patterns of cardiorespiratory coupling. Significance: Our results show that cardiac and respiratory short term and long term complexity parameters have different, state dependent patterns. Sympathovagal non-linear interactions are dependent on the pattern of their activation, having different scaling properties when individually activated with respect to the state of their joint activation. All investigated states induced a change of α 1 vs. α 2 relationship, which can be accurately expressed by the proposed measure-inter-fractal angle θ. Short scale (α 1 vs. MSE 1−4) and long scale (α 2 vs. MSE 5−10) complexity measures had reciprocal interrelation in standing with 0.1 Hz breathing, with specific cardiorespiratory coupling pattern (ρ 1 vs. X MSE1−4). These results support the hypothesis of hierarchical organization Matić et al. RRI-Respiratory Complexity and Cardiorespiratory Coupling of cardiorespiratory complexity mechanisms and their recruitment in ascendant manner with respect to the increase of behavioral challenge complexity. Specific and comprehensive cardiorespiratory regulation in standing with 0.1 Hz breathing suggests this state as the potentially most beneficial maneuver for cardiorespiratory conditioning.

“…In order to accurately evaluate balance ability, a previous study has suggested that the environment between measurements or between subjects be controlled, and generally recommend adjusting the ground and the subject's measurement posture [11]. In addition to these standardized evaluation methods, some studies have recently reported that breathing can also affect balance ability [12,13]. Voluntary breathing can activate the cerebral cortex and, along with it, can affect muscle control in the lower extremities and upper extremities [12].…”

Hernandez et al [12] suggested that the degree of synchronization of breathing and postural sway is high in the elderly, and therefore voluntary breathing has a great influence on the maintenance and control of balance. Alain et al [13] suggested that thoracic movements have a longer lever arm than abdominal movements, and thoracic breathing (TB) may induce greater sway than abdominal breathing (AB) because it induces activation of peripheral muscles around the cervical spine.…”

Recent studies have suggested that breathing type may affect balance ability. However, most of these studies were conducted on the elderly and patients with musculoskeletal or neurological disorders. Therefore, the effect of voluntary breathing, such as thoracic and abdominal breathing, on the balance ability of people in various age groups is not clearly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in balance ability according to the type of breathing in healthy young adults. This study included 78 healthy, young adults. All subjects were assessed for balance ability in neutral breathing, thoracic breathing, and abdominal breathing through a crossover design. Balance ability was assessed during static standing using a force plate. Participants were trained in voluntary breathing, evaluated using electromyography. During voluntary breathing, sway velocity, anterior-posterior difference, and anterior-posterior standard deviation increased while anterior-posterior sample entropy decreased compared to neutral breathing (p < 0.05). Compared with thoracic breathing, abdominal breathing increased sway velocity and variability, and reduced complexity (p < 0.05). These findings show that balance ability is affected by breathing, even in healthy young adults.
