Promoting Emotional and Autonomic Control Through Guided Breathing Exercises for Emerging Adults With Autism

Brief Summary

This study examines the impact of guided breathing exercises on stress and heart rate variability (HRV) in autistic young adults. It explores how daily movement behavior (sleep, physical activity and sedentary behavior) influences HRV and to what extent two guided breathing exercises can affect HRV. Additionally, the study investigates how participants perceive the exercises in terms of usability and usefulness.
