Introduction.
Athletes who develop an immunosuppressed state because of intensive training get upper respiratory infections (URIs) and may respond to meditation.
Reflective exercise (RE), a westernized form of Qigong, combines meditation, breathing, and targeted mental attention to an internal pulsatile sensation, previously shown to protect varsity swimmers from URIs during the height of training.
We report here the evaluation of cardiovascular parameters measured during meditation combined with targeted imagery (interoception) in a cohort of varsity swimmers taught RE.
Methods.
Thirteen subjects were enrolled on a prospective protocol that used the CareTaker, a noninvasive cardiovascular monitor before, during, and after RE training.
Questionnaires regarding targeted mental imagery focusing on a pulsatile sensation were collected.
The cardiovascular parameters include heart rate, blood pressure, and heart rate variability (HRV).
Results.
Increased variance in the subjects’ BP and HRV was observed over the training period of 8 weeks.
In nine subjects there was an increased low frequency (LF) HRV that was significantly (p<0.05) associated with the subject’s awareness of the pulsatile sensation that makes up a basic part of the RE practice.
Summary.
These data support further evaluation of HRV measurements in subjects while meditating with mental imagery.
This direction could contribute to better understanding of neurocardiac mechanisms that relate meditation to enhanced immunity.
