The breathing exercises gradually enable clients to lengthen the time between breaths.
During echocardiographic examination, the dog breathed spontaneously, but the data acquisition was performed in between breaths.
Complex analysis of the breathing pattern suggests that the degree of variability, of autocorrelation between breaths, or of the random fraction of variational activity indicates a different response of the breathing controller to stress and respiratory constraints [ 8].
Moreover carotid chemoreceptor discharge in anaesthetized or unanaesthetised animals changes fast enough to detect changes in PaCO2 between breaths [ 77], and artificially applying large changes in PaO2 does affect breathing during exercise.
Between breaths, I lose feeling.
"Definitely a good workout — good competition," he said between breaths.
