A postgraduate student at the University of Pretoria conducted a study to determine the effect of heart rate variability coherence breathing and cognitive skills training on Neuro Agility. Neuro Agility is a skillset that promotes a fast, focused, and flexible brain. The study aimed to identify the effects of a 2-month heart rate variability coherence breathing and cognitive skills intervention on Neuro Agility.

Pre and post-assessment evaluations were conducted to assess the candidates’ visual skills and Neuro Agility. The study’s intervention phase consisted of a 2-month program of 1-hour sessions, five times a week. Each session consisted of a heart rate variability coherence
breathing intervention, followed by advanced visual skills training and
physical cross-lateral exercises to improve brain agility.

The study found significant improvements in the variables for visual tracking and overall brain fitness in the visual skills assessments and Neuro Agility Profile® assessments.
