Low-frequency breathing (BR <12 cpm) plays a primary role in eliciting physiologically significant changes in HRV. By identifying a similarity in breathing oscillations of HR of FAG, YG, and PBG, the results recognize the coexistence of attention and breathing strategies and postulate their joint role in sustaining autonomic benefits, while effects induced by breathing alone on HRV could be attained even intermittently.
