Diaphragmatic Breathing Reduces Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress

Figure 1

ROMs levels were determined at different times, before and after exercise. Athletes were divided in two equivalent groups of eight subjects. Subjects of the studied group spent 1 h (6:30–7:30 pm) relaxing performing DB and concentrating on their breath in a quiet place. The other eight subjects, representing the control group, spent the same time sitting in an equivalent quite place. Values shown are mean ± SD. **P < .01 DB versus control group.
