Description

This study was intended to review the psychological and physiological changes acquired from heartbeat biofeedback combined with breathing exercises. In this study, next three experimental conditions were set. Control condition (eyes closed resting state), regular condition (eyes closed, listening to heartbeat sound and try to expand the heartbeat, no breathing exercises), respiration condition (eyes closed, listening to heartbeat sound and try to expand the heartbeat, with breathing exercises). To compare each of these experimental conditions, as psychology index Two-Dimensional Mood Scale (TDMS) and introspective report, as physiology index count of respiration, electrocardiogram R-R interval were chosen as barometer. Furthermore, Lorenz plot was calculated from electrocardiogram R-R interval. As result of inspection, three major differences were found out between three conditions. (1) By TDMS, during mid experiment in regular condition and respiration condition, positive alertness enhanced. (2) In respiration condition, count of respiration decreased during mid experiment. (3) By Lorenz plot, regular condition showed increase in cardiac sympathetic nerve activity during post experiment. In conclusion, when BF was intended for inexperienced subject to relax, effort to expand heartbeat using BF with breathing exercises was more effective than without breathing exercise.
