Abstract
A wearable device and system has been developed to help users learn the practices of diaphragmatic breathing and breathing patterns to improve running and walking performance. The wearable has a breathing sensor (breathe in-breathe out) and a movement sensor used to identify foot strikes. A processor computes the number of foot strikes occurring while inhaling and the number of foot strikes occurring while exhaling to report breathing patterns as a function of time. The algorithms may be modified to teach breathing patterns to athletes in other sports and deep breathing for numerous movement and minimal movement applications.
