A postgraduate student at the University of Pretoria conducted a study to determine the effect of heart rate variability coherence breathing and cognitive skills Neuro Agility training. Neuro Agility is the ability to learn, think, and process information with  ease, speed and flexibility. The study aimed to identify the effects of a 2-month heart rate variability coherence breathing and cognitive skills intervention on neuro-agility.

The study used pre and post-assessment evaluations 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, 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.
