Science-Backed
Intent combines neuroscience and exercise physiology research to maximise vagus nerve stimulation and resilience.
The Science of Breath
- Deep, slow breathing stimulates your vagus nerve and shifts the body from stress to relaxation, supporting heart rate, respiration and digestion.1
- Nasal breathing delivers up to 20 % more oxygen and engages the diaphragm and core, improving stamina and easing anxiety.2
- Controlled breathing increases heart-rate variability (HRV), enhancing cognitive performance, emotion regulation and overall resilience.3
1. Deep breathing activates the vagus nerve, an important part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps regulate heart rate, respiration and digestion. When you breathe slowly, vagal signals cue your body to shift from a stressed state into relaxation (Cedars-Sinai Health).
2. Nose breathing can deliver more oxygen than mouth breathing and engages the diaphragm and core muscles. It slows your breath, improving stamina and calming the nervous system (UPMC Sports Medicine).
3. Controlled breathing techniques increase heart-rate variability (HRV), a marker of resilience and cognitive performance. Studies show that slow, intentional breathing sessions improve HRV and help regulate emotions (Journal of Psychophysiology).
