Breathing Pattern Disorders Distinguished from Healthy Breathing Patterns Using Optoelectronic Plethysmography

Table 3

Mean, standard deviation (SD), and 95% confidence intervals for the percentage contribution breathing variables across each condition for individuals with a healthy breathing pattern and breathing pattern disorder. Significant differences between conditions are represented by , +, #, †, and ^ as a mean significant difference from rest, low, moderate, high intensity exercise, and recovery, respectively. Significant difference between the two groups is indicated by .
