Breath Rate Test

Instructions on performing Breath Rate test.

Supplies Needed:

  • Timer

Steps:

This test is done 2 hours after a meal.

  1. Sit and breath normally. Try to not think much about it.

  2. Start a 30 second timer. Breath naturally, and count your inhales. *an inhale and exhale is one breath.

  3. After 30s take the number of breaths you just counted and double it. So if you took 8 breaths in 30s your breath rate is 16.

*The mobile app "Google Fit" has a breath rate monitor that uses your phone's camera to count your breaths. This can work too.
