| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effects of slow breathing exercise (SBE) in chronic disease patients, focusing on autonomic nervous activity, especially parasympathetic activity at rest. The results showed that parasympathetic nervous activity was lower in patients with chronic kidney disease than in healthy subjects. In addition, the results suggest that continuous SBE intervention may increase parasympathetic nervous activity and affect cardio dynamics, and that although SBE is a relatively simple method of incorporating deep breathing into daily life, its effectiveness may be related to the rate at which it is practiced. Furthermore, in animal experiments using disease models, continuous intervention with environmental enrichment to increase parasympathetic nerve activity was found to maintain a high level of parasympathetic nerve activity even as the disease progressed. Further study is required on subject-specific SBE methods and other physiological effects.
