Summary

This trial investigates whether two breathing techniques—diaphragmatic breathing and box breathing—can help healthy physical therapy students manage stress and build psychological resilience. Participants will be randomly assigned to practice one of the breathing methods or join a control group for four weeks. Researchers will measure heart rate variability, perceived stress, resilience, cognitive performance, and academic self-efficacy to see if these non-invasive practices make a difference.
