Five minutes of slow-paced breathing at 0.1 Hz increased Bereitschaftspotential amplitude preceding voluntary finger movements compared to resting breathing in healthy adults.

The concurrent effects of volitional breathing on motor-related brain regions have been documented in several studies, but it remains uncertain whether its after-effects influence neural processes involved in motor preparation. This study investigated whether a brief slow-paced breathing intervention alters the dynamics of the Bereitschaftspotential (BP) preceding voluntary movement. Thirty healthy participants were randomly assigned to a slow-paced breathing (SB) group (n = 15), who performed 5 min of 0.1-Hz breathing, or to a resting breathing (RB) group (n = 15). Before and after the intervention, participants executed self-paced isometric right index finger abductions while electroencephalography, electromyography, force output, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO
