slugImplementation of a Breathwalk Aware System
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Breathwalk is a science of combining specific patterns of footsteps synchronized with the breathing. Breathing and walking comprise two of the most important activities in our daily life. Breathwalk is the place where these elements of deliberate breathing, walking and meditation come together. It combines them consistently into an exercise which everyone can do. Spiritual, emotional and physical vigor can be improved by bringing them together in an organized and speculative way. Breathwalk has an important effect on body composition, lipid profile, and liver enzymes. In addition, it has a beneficial effect on metabolic and mood state in hepatitis C virus patients. However, “walking meditation” is an exercise which uses the principle of Breathwalk. Results show that it might effectively assist beginners in retarding down the walking speed and decreasing incorrect footsteps. Evaluations have shown that the Breathwalk - aware system is a much better feedback mechanism for learning the techniques of Breathwalk rather than walking meditation. The main principle of it is to synchronize the footstep with appropriate breathing rhythm. In this project, an interactive mechanism which is capable of detecting user’s walking and breathing conditions and providing appropriate guidance with the help of LABVIEW is developed . The system increases the walking and breathing awareness in the individual. The system can be used in walking meditation in which the user needs to synchronize footsteps along with breathing and each footsteps with toes first. This study may additionally be of importance in providing a mechanism to help users in higher understanding of his pace and improve the walking habits. Within the future, this technique might be utilized in alternative applications, like walking rehabilitation.
