BreatheWell: Train Your Breathing, Relax Your Body, Open Your Mind

This study seeks to investigate the impact of daily inspiratory muscle training (IMT) over 12 weeks on mental and physical well-being, focusing on whether the effects are sustained three months post-intervention. IMT is a breathing exercise known to improve respiratory function and reduce stress. This research will expand on previous findings showing that IMT can influence psychological states, such as increased awareness of the body, and improved relaxation and well-being. The investigators aim to compare the effects of IMT against a sham IMT group and a health data engagement-only group, assessing whether daily IMT enhances psychological well-being, body awareness, and physical relaxation. Study Design and Groups: * IMT Group: Participants will engage in daily inspiratory muscle training with the Powerbreathe device at moderate to high resistance, aimed at improving respiratory strength and exploring the effects of higher resistance training on well-being. * Sham IMT Group: This group will complete daily IMT sessions at low resistance. This type of training encourages slower, deeper breaths, which some participants have found to help with relaxation and improving breath control. * Engagement-Only Group: Participants will wear the Oura ring, which tracks health metrics such as heart rate, sleep, and physical activity. They will engage with the app to sync their data and review personal insights, fostering health awareness and self-monitoring. Key Outcome Measures: * Psychological Well-Being: Evaluated using the NIH Toolbox Psychological Well-Being (PWB) test. * Body Awareness: Assessed with the Multidimensional Assessment of -Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) scale. * Physical Relaxation: Measured by heart rate variability (RMSSD), which reflects vagal tone and overall relaxation. Study Procedures: Participants will complete their assigned interventions for 12 weeks, with data collection at baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and at a 3-month follow-up. All participants will be asked to engage with weekly surveys to track their mental and physical health. The study also measures adherence, age, gender, physical activity, and sleep quality as potential confounding factors to better understand the broader impacts of the interventions. This study aims to compare the effects of IMT at different resistance levels to see if it improves well-being, whether these benefits are maintained over time, and how it compares to simply engaging with health-tracking data.
