The effectiveness of receiving abdominal breathing training

EXPERIMENTAL

Training for 8 weeks (1 time a week, 15 minutes each time). Performed one-on-one by a trainer in a sleep center. At home, you can use the abdominal breathing training video to train yourself (10 minutes a day, can be divided into 10 minutes), and you need to fill in the abdominal breathing training log.

Behavioral: Abdominal breathing training

The effectiveness of not receiving abdominal breathing training

NO INTERVENTION

The trainer does not provide abdominal breathing training, does not perform abdominal breathing exercises at home, and does not need to fill in abdominal breathing training logs.

Interventions

In the sleep center, it is carried out in a one-on-one manner by the trainer. At home, self-training through abdominal breathing training videos (10 minutes per day, you can accumulate up to 10 minutes in divided doses)
