Key result
Respiratory biofeedback games improved breath control and attentional-cognitive performance during a subsequent cognitively stressful task compared to audio pacing and a paced breathing app.

Biofeedback games may aid stress self-regulation in young males; leaves open generalizability and clinical adoption.
Do respiratory biofeedback games improve breath control and cognitive performance during stressful tasks compared to audio pacing or a paced breathing app in young male participants?
Respiratory biofeedback games are an effective strategy to learn paced breathing and self-regulate stress levels, potentially offering better engagement than standalone techniques.
Zafar et al. (2018) studied Stress (n=100). Respiratory biofeedback games vs. Audio pacing versions of games and a paced breathing app was evaluated on Breathing rate and cognitive performance. Respiratory biofeedback games improved breath control and attentional-cognitive performance during a subsequent cognitively stressful task compared to audio pacing and a paced breathing app.
