Four weeks of slow-paced breathing: a longitudinal, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the autonomic nervous system by Nicolas Bourdillon, Arnaud Rochat, Vanessa Hoop, Grégoire P. Millet

“…Personalized SPB was determined as the breathing frequency that elicited the greatest possible RSA, i.e., the best synchronization between breathing and heart rate. The HRV assessments included measures of heart rate (HR), root mean square of the successive differences (RMSSD), power spectrum in the low- and high-frequency bands (LF and HF). …”
