Examining the impact of combining yoga-based breathing techniques with short-bouts of walking on state anxiety: findings from two pilot randomised trials

These trials provide further evidence of the beneficial effects of short, single bouts of walking on the mental well-being of young adults. There was preliminary evidence that the incorporation of a simple, breathing technique (breathwalk) provided greater anxiolytic effects than walking alone which warrants further investigation.

Abstract

These trials provide further evidence of the beneficial effects of short, single bouts of walking on the mental well-being of young adults. There was preliminary evidence that the incorporation of a simple, breathing technique (breathwalk) provided greater anxiolytic effects than walking alone which warrants further investigation.
