| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We empirically know the healing effects of oriental breathing techniques found in oriental body works such as Qigong and Yoga. However, there are few scientific evidences to prove those effects. Here, we developed a generalized simple oriental breathing technique and examined our hypothesis that the oriental breathing technique facilitates automaticity of postural control. We analyzed postural sway data during quiet stance measured before and after the breathing technique. Results revealed that irregularity (randomness) of center of pressure increased after the technique. Furthermore, after the technique, cognitive and postural dual task performance improved, especially in postural task. Thus, we conclude that the oriental breathing technique developed in this study facilitate automaticity of postural control.
