AB  - This study aimed to determine how diaphragmatic breathing and several recovery positions affect a recreational athlete’s respiratory rate, heart rate, and perceived recovery status. Slow, controlled breathing from the diaphragm can aid in autonomic recovery, while different recovery postures can affect physiological and perceptual outcomes. Twenty-one participants aged 18 to 25 took part in a high-intensity TABATA session, and then practiced diaphragmatic breathing in one of four randomly given positions. Participants can be in a seated, standing, hands-on-knees, or lying down position with their feet elevated. The heart rate and respiratory rate were recorded immediately post-workout, and then a minute after while doing the recovery technique, using a pulse oximeter. After that, the Perceived Recovery Status (PRS) scale was used to determine how the participant rated their recovery. Results demonstrated that supine with feet elevated was the most effective way for heart rate recovery. Yet, there was no difference seen in both respiratory rate and perceived recovery status across the different positions. The findings support the use of basic, passive recovery methods to enhance post-exercise recovery in recreational athletes.
